    What do you mean by 'access'?

    In concept the answer is 'Yes'. But in order for it to be a good idea, it depends upon a lot of things.

    Are you still paying into it?
    Is your employer still paying into it?
    Is it a money purchase or final salary scheme?

    Depending upon these things, it could turn out to be the worst possible financial mistake you could make. Or alternatively, it could make sense.
