A question about : Pension quick question

I have 3 pensions
25000 pre 2006

26000

10000
Can I take lump sums from all of these or only one as I want to help with a deposit for my son .
Any advice would be grateful.

Best answers:

  • Do you mention pre 2006 because of what is discussed here https://www.telegraph.co.uk/finance/p...-tax-free.html
  • I did read that but still not understand if that makes any difference. Perhaps someone out there could break it down and does it mean I can take all the money out of the pre 2006 one. Save for pensions all my life but cannot get my head round them
  • Does the pre 2006 have the protection discussed?
    It was a pension arising from previous employment? It is not a deferred DB pension?
    The others are just standard DC pensions?
    Would you benefit from advice from an IFA? In a previous post you mention a lump sum from a property sale.

  • I think you can take 25% tax free from each as they become payable. You can't take preferentially from one pension and less than another. I don't think.
  • I think the OP wants to know whether her pre 2006 pension has a protected tax free amount greater than 25%.See link in my previous post.
