surrey pension to drawdown?

Hello you brainy people,   Have a surrey pension but not retired yet.no probs with value and other income etc,but, should I retire and then decide to go back to work,having started the pension,it will mean lots of tax of course. So is it possible to turn this into a drawdown product with all it's flexibility?

    What is a "surrey" pension?
  • Surrey is part of a LGPS
  • Isnt Surrey a county?

    OP, I think you might need to provide a  little more detail to get any meaningful response.

    No. 

    But you can put all your earned income (with in limits) from the job you get into a DC pension then you can flexi drawdown that money.

    There are a number of occupational pensions that have Surrey in the name.    However, its most likely the LGPS as as number of counties refer to the LGPS as the "county" pension.

    no probs with value and other income etc,
    It doesnt have a value.

    No.
