Small sum pension pot question

Posts: 1,120 Forumite
I understand from research elsewhere that if you have a defined contribution pension pot of less than £10000 you can withdraw the value regardless of any other pensions (acknowledging the tax free lump sum and tax to be paid implications). This is from my present employer and I am considering retiring later this year age 61 I have two defined benefit pensions, one LGPS which I am now taking as it became payable when I reached 60. The other is deferred but I would take it, at a slightly reduced rate when I retire. In my circumstances, with a mix of pensions, is my assumption in my first sentence correct? Thanks in anticipation.
