    ok as i understand it

    i will be 56 next feb. and have 2 pensions i dont cont.to in total they will have a value of about 30k.
    i can take 25% i.e. 7.5k
    i can take the other 75% 22.5k less 20% income tax
    (i`m not a tax payer but assume the 22.5k one off would make me one in that year?)

    is this broadly correct?
    cheers

    Looking at the information in more detail this morning, it looks like you can take the whole £30k tax free. Used to be £18k.
