Prudential AVCs - impact of Industrial Action
All Local Government Pension Funds have an arrangement with an AVC provider. East Sussex Pension Fund uses the Prudential - part of the M&G group. M&G, like many other insurance companies uses 3rd party administrators for some of the services they provide. One of these administrators is Diligenta, who have been issued notice of industrial action by Unite. This will take place across the whole of Diligenta’s UK operation on 12th January 2026 - 18th January 2026 and 26th January 2026 - 1st February 2026. This may impact delivery of some services for Prudential AVC holders both during and after the strike activity. Prudential are encouraging customers to make use of their online facilities* during these times by registering for MyPru (direct link below). *Members can view their pension pot, change investments, forecast their pension plan and use a Live chat facility.
