Help needed on pension

I need to pay around 3k into a pension before April for tax relief purposes, I already have a pension with a company that I have paid £100 per month for around 12 years. My question is do I just pay into this or start a new pension, I plan on upping my payments in the new tax year, so would you advise to keep paying the 100 per month into the one I have and start a new one for the 3k and extra or just pay everything into the one I have, I am planning on having a review on my current pension but can't have that looked at till after April due to work commitments

    You can do either. The choice should be based on availability of the investments you want to use and the cost of holding those investments, plus the customer service and other aspects that matter to you.

    If for some reason you have trouble getting it done on time Hargreaves Lansdown generally can accept very late payments into their pension. Their transfer out costs aren't great but it's decent enough as a way to get things like this done.
