NHS pension and tax

I'm getting to the stage where I feel unwell at the thought of going into work. It's management, staff shortages etc. Remedy calculation as of march 2014 - lump sum £30k and pension £11300. Non remedy calculation as at march 2024 - lump sum £22500 and pension £12100. If I take either one of the 2 scenarios, will I pay tax…

Before making any plans you should get a quote for what your pension would be if you retired on the desired date. It may be that there is a tool on the pension scheme's website which allows you to work it out for yourself.
