<p>Pensions dashboard services will become available for widespread use by the general
public at the Dashboards Available Point. A specific date for the Dashboards Available
Point cannot yet be determined as the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions must
first have regard to a number of relevant matters, including sufficient level of coverage,
assurance of the safety, security and reliability of the service and testing of the
user experience. Once satisfied that the dashboards ecosystem is ready to support
widespread use, following consultation with the Money and Pensions Service, The Pensions
Regulator and the Financial Conduct Authority, the Secretary of State will then issue
a notice at least six months in advance of the launch of pensions dashboard services
for use by the general public.</p><p>Under the central scenario (best estimate) in
the impact assessment for the Pensions Dashboards (Amendment) Regulations 2023 (which
can be found at: <a href="https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukia/2023/89/pdfs/ukia_20230089_en.pdf"
target="_blank">https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukia/2023/89/pdfs/ukia_20230089_en.pdf</a>),
we estimate the number of users of pensions dashboard services will increase to around
16 million in the years following the Dashboards Available Point.</p>
