The problem is that this government and their friendly judges do not live in the real world....

Just doing mine, I don’t want to but do t want to risk her capping it below the 25%. My pension advisor was saying there inundated with people thinking the very same think and taking as much out of their policies.

You'd think if that's the plan it wouldn't be cut and implemented until at least April in small stages or it would cause chaos to pension providers and people pulling out 25% and more all at once. Which messes up plans of more people who weren't just going to rely on the state in later years ?
But then we have economic illiterates in charge of ruining this country as if by design from outside influences !

Problem is the uncertainty this is causing, is pushing people to take the lump sum.

When I retired (early at 56) in 2014, I had concerns about the long term solvency/viability of the defined benefit scheme that I was in.

As a result, I took the full tax-free 25%, plus as I was over the Lifetime Allowance, I took all the excess in cash, despite the excess being taxed at 55%.

With what subsequently transpired, I stand by that decision and have no regrets <cheers>
