If your pot is no more than £10K at the time you withdraw it, then you could take the lot under the 'small pots' regime. This could be valuable for various reasons, and PensionWise would be able to explain these in full e.g.
- doesn't trigger the money purchase annual allowance, which would limit you to contributions, including tax relief, of no more than £4,000 a year going forward;
- small pots use 0% of the annual allowance, which is especially useful to anyone with substantial pension savings who is nudging the Lifetime Allowance.
Such thoughts might be irrelevant to you, but could be useful for others - so taking a free guidance/information session could be worthwhile.Probably more accurate to say they cater for the large majority of people who are generally clueless in this area. Many in good well paid jobs but have never taken any interest in boring pensions, until forced.
Quite.
