Restless website free pensions health check

I have been reading about the free pensions health check offered by the Restless websites for over 50's.

Has anyone given this a go and decdied if there is any point or benefit to this service and if it is anyt different to any other free pension health check.

    There is no such thing as free pension advice.  However, you can get free generic pension information.

    Information sites like these are a gateway to try and convert you to paid financial advice.  And checking the website and FCA register, that appears to be the case here.

    What would you be looking to achieve from a service that is unable to provide personalised advice on what is best for you?


    I am an Independent Financial Adviser (IFA). The comments I make are just my opinion and are for discussion purposes only. They are not financial advice and you should not treat them as such. If you feel an area discussed may be relevant to you, then please seek advice from an Independent Financial Adviser local to you.
