Personal Pension cash in

My hubby has a small pension that we are trying to close up.
He currently receives his Royal Navy Pension of 6200 per year and another small one of 13 per month.
Trying to complete paperwork and I am pretty sure that we can go for the 25% lump sum (£400) and annual payments but I am getting v confused re the lifetime allowance.
I have worked out the 20x annual pension (plus the gratuity he got after completing his time) and the 20x annual for the small pension and in my figures this does not equate anywhere near the current SLA.
Am I missing something or does it sound like I am working it out correctly.
Appreciate any feedback.

    You can, the lifetime allowance is not relevant - it would only count if you were trying to take ALL of this 3rd pension as a lump sum (in which case you are over the limit & can't do it anyway)
