    Yes it is correct. At age 55 you will be able to take 25% tax-free cash.

    Well, you'll either be able to get it at 50 or 55 (age dependent) as things currently stand, whether you actually retire or not.

    you could also recieve it earlier based on very bad health, or take the whole lot based on trivial commutation rules at retirement age.
