  • Yes, each SIPP (defined contribution) pension is separate.

    Of course it maxes out at the Lifetime Allowance of £1,073,100 so you can have an overall maximum of 25% of that figure which is £268,275.

    Yes, but as another point you are not obliged to take the full 25% from a pension all  at once. Most modern pensions allow you to take it in stages, either with some taxable income, or just on its own.

    It is in fact usually better to leave the tax free cash in the pension, unless you have some specific need for it. In other words better not to just take it out 'because it is there', as many people seem to do.
