    Which is why i suggested using money from selling their london home to buy more, smaller properties instead of using the valuable DB pension.

    Which wold give them the property they desire (good idea or not) and the pension. Happy days.
  • Wow!!
    I thought it was just us public sector employees who didn't know the value (and the rules) of 'gold plated' DB pensions.

    ....................... how insulting having to get permission from someone with a vested interest in me not taking my money to give his /her permission for me to do it............

    A DB pension is not 'your money' it is a promise made by your employer to pay you an increasing income for life, whatever the cost to them.
    The questions that get the best answers are the questions that give most detail....
