Pension reforms

I have an IVPP which pays me a small annuity yearly. Will I be offered a lump sum this year following the Government's pension reforms?

    No. You gave up the pension pot to buy an annuity.

    Buying out of annuities is something that "is being looked into" but nothing more than that at the moment. http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b04xjcn2

    Never associate with idiots on their own level, because, being an intelligent man, you'll try to deal with them on their level - and on their level they'll beat you every time.

    Being hated by idiots is the price you pay for not being one of them.

    I don't believe it is currently being looked at. It is a Steve Webb wish but nothing indicates it is an aim of the Government.
