Midlife MOT
The digital Midlife MOT, brings together trusted services, tools and charity resources from the NHS, Money Helper, Mind, Citizens Advice and the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP), to help more people plan for their future.

Death benefit
You cannot leave pension savings in your will. Benefits will still be paid but it will be paid to your estate. It is therefore important to make sure that JSS have an updated copy of your Death Benefit Nominations.
You should regularly review these nominations as circumstances can change. Please also make your family aware that they need to contact JSS in the event of your death.
The Death Benefit page provides more information.
Retirement Planning
Everyone needs to plan and prepare for their retirement.
More help and advice can be found on the HM Government Retirement planning - external link page.

JSS Survey 2025
The 2025 JSS Customer Satisfaction Survey took place during March, April and May. The feedback from you was positive and gave us some useful suggestions to consider.
All scheme members naturally expect a good provision of service from us and feedback would suggest we provide this. If you have any comments about our service (positive or constructive) please use our Feedback Form - external link.
