With profits AVC

I have an in house AVC with my LGPS pension. It is a standard life with profits plan. I have a set retirement age in the plan of 65. What are the consequences of taking an earlier retirement date if any? Thanks.

  • Can anyone offer any advice?  I’ve tried to research what would happen to the bonus payment if I brought the retirement date forward but am struggling to find anything. Thanks

    First you need to find out what withdrawal options there are . They might be restricted and it may be necessary to transfer out to another pension ( which is actually quite easy ) . By transferring out you would not normally lose out of any bonuses built up.
