SIPP - already using UFPLs - can I now use PCLS

Hi, I've taken lump sums (UFPLS) from my SIPP with AJ Bell a few times.

Now considering, if I can, going into PCLS (Pension Commencement Lump Sum) i.e. taking 25% of the current SIPP total tax-free and leaving the 75% in the SIPP which will subject to tax when I withdraw.

Is this legit with HMRC?

Any advice gratefully received. Cheers - Joe

ps AJ Bell didn't seem to understand my question.

    You mean Flexi Access Drawdown, that's possibly what has confused AJ Bell, Yes you can switch between UFPLS and FAD as you see fit and have uncrystallised funds.
