Basic scheme information – explanatory booklet or contractual terms

You are entitled to basic scheme information when you join a pension scheme or take out a personal retirement savings account (PRSA) or a personal pension.

Trustees of occupational pension schemes must provide members with certain information about the operation of the scheme. This mainly comes in the form of a scheme explanatory booklet.

Similarly, PRSA providers and personal pension providers will provide contractual policy documentation that describes the rules of the PRSA or the personal pension.
