Shall I Transfer Pension?

Hi
Anyone got any advice on the following....

I worked for my current company from 1997-2000 and joined the company pension scheme. I then left and rejoined a few years later (2003) and rejoined the company pension scheme which pays my pension for me.

So now I have 2 pensions with the same provider, however I have the option of moving the old pension into my new one. Is this advisable? Or should I keep them seperate?

Moving them into one would be easier for administratiion, but would I be losing out on any tax benefit?

Thanks in advance

    You could possibly lose out on benefits or you could gain. We would need to know details about both schemes to give an indication.
