Draw Down

Hi all

I have just drawn down the entire pension pot i had in Aeon as a small pot. While I was reading the blurb they state that i can only draw down three times pre-retirement. (No longer relevent as ive emptied the pot with them) but I have four remaining pots with other companies (all about 5,000 sterling). I had planned on drawing them down one after the other each time the bill account hit nil until I reach state pension age. Is this just Aeon? I was previously under the impression I could draw what I wanted when I wanted because of the small sums involved? I could manage with two of the better funds but really all would be better.
For some people enough will never be reached.

    There's no law so it will depend on the administration.

    They are the old triviality rules (one of the only ways you could get 100% lump sum). You could do 3 lots of under £10k.
