Inherited pension and 25% cash free lump sum

Hello

if I have inherited a DC pension from my father (who was over 75 when he died) and I want to take some of the money out, do I benefit from 25% tax free (assuming he didn’t take this already) as I would with my own pension. 

Thanks for any advice.

    No. There's no 25% tax free on an inherited pension.
    Googling on your question might have been both quicker and easier, if you're only after simple facts rather than opinions!
