Pension reforms

Options
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

    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.
