Pension Service in East Sussex

East Sussex County Council and The Pension Service are working in partnership as the East Sussex Joint Team.

The team can also deal with any queries about benefits already being received. Help with application forms and support people through their claim, Verify documents, to save them sending them to the Pension Centre and Signpost to other services.

When making contact with the service it is important to ensure you have the date of birth and full address of the person about whom the enquiry is about.

The service will also need to know that the customer has consented to the visit.
