Taking further tax free amount after taking 25% tax free lump sum?

Hi all, I've taken my 25% tax free lump sum from my pension but not taken any income yet and don't intend to for a few years. 
I'm not working at the moment (I'm 58) but if I did decide to go back to work and start paying into my pension again, will I then
be able to take 25% out pax free from any new contributions I make into my pension??

    Assuming we are talking about a standard Defined Contribution pension, then the answer is yes, if the provider is OK with that . If they are not then you can just open a new pension for new contributions.
