    Each pension needs to be analysed to see whether it would be best to move it.You need to find out the following info:

    Provider
    Pension current value
    Pension transfer value
    Fund(s) it is invested in
    Other funds available
    Annual charges payable
    Any guarantees that apply

    If you post that info for all the pensions including the new one, it should be possible to give a view.
    Trying to keep it simple...;)

    Depends on the terms of the old pensions and the new pensions. No other way to answer that I'm afraid. Without knowing specifics, no-one can say. Anyone that has offered an opinion without knowing what you have doesnt have a clue and should best be avoided when it comes to advice in future.
