How we deal with casework
Enquiries relating to individual pension cases should in the first instance be sent to the member’s relevant UNISON Branch. If the Branch cannot assist they will refer the case to UNISON Region and if the Region need assistance they will refer/contact the Pensions Unit.
If any member is unsure on how to contact their Branch they should ring UNISON Direct on 0845 355 0845 who will provide the necessary contact details.
