Essential information before you start
‘My Pension’ is a secure online self-service website that allows you to take control of your Local Government Pension. In the 2023 member survey, we promised that we would substantially improve the self-service experience and have done so. The new and improved site makes looking after your pension simple.

How to register
Your 2024 online Annual Benefit Statement will be available on My Pension in the next few weeks. So it’s important that you register now.
Have you previously registered for the old version of ‘My Pension’?
If you already have a My Pension account, you’ll need to do a quick update of your log in details to access the updated version. Please visit:
https://mypension.eastsussex.gov.uk/transfer
You’ll need your current log in details to complete this step. But don’t worry if you can’t remember them, you can also ’verify your details’ to update your account.
Please do not save login details on the /transfer page as this is only used to migrate from the old system to the new.
Are you new to ‘My Pension’?
If you’ve never signed up before you need to ‘create an account’.
How to access 'My Pension' once you've registered
Here’s the website address for members who have been through the registration process.
https://mypension.eastsussex.gov.uk/login
Once registered and logged in we suggest saving My Pension as a favourite.

The updated version of My Pension should help transform the way you access and engage with vital pension information online. However, we are still working on other core features which will be available in the latest version soon.
As a result, you will occasionally be diverted back to the old My Pension website to complete certain processes (where this happens a new window will open). You can return to the latest version at any time.
