are they so frightened that we're going to blow it all & then claim benefits - I dont think so.
Whilst you dont think so, that is the common reason given for the restrictions.I am an Independent Financial Adviser (IFA). The comments I make are just my opinion and are for discussion purposes only. They are not financial advice and you should not treat them as such. If you feel an area discussed may be relevant to you, then please seek advice from an Independent Financial Adviser local to you.0 -
And given the number of Can I cash in My pension threads, that is Exactly what others want to do- p*ss it away and then claim benefits ;-)
Just because you doint want to, doesn't mean other will, hence the protections.0 -
Just for the record ...... we have no intention of claiming benefits. Just intend to use what we have, cut our cloth accordingly and enjoy life as much as we can within reason.
Thanks all for the help, advise and good wishes you have sent. Much to think about but I feel much better informed now.
