Can I keep paying into Stakeholder Pension AND Occupational Pension?

Hello,

I've been a student for the last 5 years and have been paying into a Stakeholder Pension. I'm due to start work in August for the NHS. Can I keep paying into the stakeholder pension when I start work and also pay into the NHS Pension as well?

Thanks in advance,
Wallace

    There are limits so you should make sure you don't exceed them.

    True. If you earn over £130,000 a year then you need to be on guard. Also, if you are paying more than 100% of your income.
