You cannot access the pension under age 55 except in a few exceptional circumstances.  You may have the option to transfer it elsewhere depending on the type of pension and who it is with.

If your current pension is a standard DC scheme ( not a final salary scheme ) then you could just request that they transfer the old pension in.

Even if the current pension is final salary (unlikely, but you never know) it is still possible to transfer in.

This is something I did many years ago.

Although there is sometimes a time limit, after joining a company, to arrange a transfer in to a DB
