Small Pot/Large Pot Rules

Is there anywhere that clarifies the new rules regarding taking cash out of the Pots I have accumulated over the years?
All I can see in the main is references to your "Pot" but I have managed to end up with 7 pots of £70k,£30k,£8k,£6k,£4k,£2k,£1k which I am looking to cash in. I am hearing from the Companies that I will be limited to 3 small pots cumulative value of £30k, can anyone tell me what the rules are or where I can find them regarding Pot size and limits.

    The old triviality rules are largely irrelevant now as you can take your full fund values as lump sums.

    Clearly, in you case, its highly unlikely that taking them all in one go is a good thing to do but its not a problem any more.

    You might be able to save yourself a pretty sum in charges by consolidating some of those pots before you cash them in.
    Free the dunston one next time too.
