As a safeguard against the risks of the coronavirus pandemic, the BP pensions administration team will now be working from home. The administration office in Sunbury is closed until further notice.
Please be assured that this does not affect your pension and if you are currently receiving one, we will continue paying it to you as normal. We have very limited access to the post and printing, therefore please contact us before posting any important documents as there will be a delay in returning them to you.
Before contacting us with a query, please check if our FAQs answers your question.
You can submit
queries securely by logging on to Pensionline or by email to pensions@bp.com – confirming you are
happy for us to send a response by email using document security encryption.
You can still phone us on
0345 602 1063 if you have an urgent query, but please note that we are expecting high call volumes and our backup phone system is more limited than our usual one.
We can discuss the best way to help with your queries during this time, but as always to protect your personal data, we cannot disclose any personal information over the phone. We will look to send information securely by email if we have a verified email address for you. A verified email address is one which has been communicated to us after logging into Pensionline or sent to us with your signature.
Meanwhile please bear with us while we respond to this worldwide crisis. You can find details of BP’s response to the pandemic
here.
Finally, despite the pandemic and recent investment market movements, the financial health of the Fund remains strong. At time of writing, the current estimated ‘funding level’ (the Fund’s assets as a percentage of its liabilities) remains at 105%.
