    U sure? ..
    Absolutely - I took two defined benefit pensions early and still contributed significant amounts in excess of MPAA with no issues at all.

    Ha! I thought you were referring to the 10 character limit!

    Taking DB pensions does not trigger the MPAA.

    Grammar police aside, I've confirmed elsewhere that taking pension income from a DB pension does not trigger the MPAA on a DC pension held by the same person.
    Thank you.
    Despite me confirming that within a few minutes of you posting?

    Not doing my sense of self worth much good...
