Personal Pension Transfer Rules

I have a private personal pension with a provider.  I am over pension age.
I have withdrawn all of the tax free money & reinvested it and have begun to draw down funds this year. I would like to transfer some of the pension fund to another provider.
Are there government rues that prevent a partial pension transfer that is already in drawdown?

    Yes.  Partial transfers of crystallised funds is not allowed.
