You may be able to transfer the benefits you’ve built up into another pension arrangement. For instance, you could transfer them into a new employer’s pension plan, a personal pension, stakeholder pension plan or a buy-out contract. There are various rules around pension transfers and you will need specialised IFA advice if you are in a Defined Benefit scheme and the value of the transfer is over £30,000. Contact us if you would like a ‘Cash Equivalent Transfer Value’ (CETV) statement. You can receive independent advice from MoneyHelper.

You may be entitled to a pension or a lump sum if your spouse, partner, or someone you were dependant on has passed away. Please contact us, if someone receiving a pension from us has died, or call us on 0800 122 5800 (from outside of the UK +44 20 3727 9850). We will need the member’s name, address, National Insurance number, date of birth and date of death. It would help if you know the member’s membership number and scheme name. Please let us know your telephone number, email address and relationship with the member. We will then be in touch about the next steps.

If you get divorced or dissolve a civil partnership, the courts need to decide how to divide your assets between you and your former spouse or civil partner. When they do this, they’ll take the value of your pension benefits into account. Please contact us to get details of your pension benefits for divorce proceedings.

When you die, most schemes, will provide your spouse or civil partner with a pension. If you don’t have a spouse or civil partner, your scheme may provide a pension to someone who was financially dependent on you. If we pay a pension to any of these people, their pension may also increase each year in line with inflation.

The minimum age you can start taking a pension in the UK is currently 55, rising to 57 from 6 April 2028. This is set by the government. However, your pension scheme may have a higher minimum pension age set in the scheme rules.  Retirement before ‘Normal Retirement Age’, which is usually 65, is normally reduced for early payment. Some schemes have exceptions due to ill health or protected minimum retirement ages. The latest that you can retire is often age 75.

We do not issue payslips automatically each month. You can view your payslip online anytime. You will have received a letter from Isio with instructions for logging in via www.mypensiontracker.co.uk. You can request a new password on their ‘Forgot password’ page.

The Annual Allowance is the limit set by the government on how much you can save in a pension scheme before having to pay tax. From the 2023/24 tax year, the Annual Allowance is £60,000. This amount is reduced further if you have an adjusted income greater than £260,000 and your threshold income is greater than £200,000. The government looks at a period of time called the Pension Input Period, to see how much the value of your benefits have increased. This increase is known as your Pension Input Amount and is included in your annual Benefit Statement. You need to check that the pension input amounts from all your pension savings do not go above the Annual Allowance. You may want to speak to an Independent Financial Adviser about this or read more about the detail on the MoneyHelper website.

The LSA of £268,275 is the overall limit for receiving tax relief on lump sums paid at retirement. The LSA is used up by Pension Commencement Lump Sums (PCLS) and the 25% tax-free element of Uncrystallised Funds Pension Lump Sums (UFPLS). Lump sums on total commutation of small pensions (trivial commutation lump sums, winding up lump sums and ‘small lump sums’), will not count towards these allowances.

The LSDBA of £1,073,100 will reduce through payment of a PCLS, and the 25% tax-free element of an UFPLS, as well as a serious ill-health lump sum, and the non-taxable part of any authorised lump sum death benefits (excluding a charity lump sum death benefit and a trivial commutation lump sum death benefit).

Everyone is different in terms of when they want to retire and how much they will want to spend. You may spend less on transport to work, upkeep of your children and you may have paid off your mortgage. However, you may want to spend more on holidays and your health. You can access an online budget planner from MoneyHelper. The Pensions and Lifetime Savings Association has an excellent resource setting out retirement living standards on their website.

It may be possible to retire early, if your scheme rules and trustee board allow this. You can contact us, if you believe that you are eligible.

You may be able to delay taking your pension. In some cases, it may result in an increase in your monthly payments when you decide to start receiving them.
