Reply With QuoteYes I used them, and got some good advice. Ended up with a provider giving me more than if I stayed with the one I was with. Highly recommended.
I'm of the age where I'm starting to think about my pension options when I retire.
I took advantage of the government's free Pension Wise service this morning. I'm already reasonably pension savvy but it's a free service & I thought that I might find some useful nuggets of information. For example that you can take £500 tax free from your pension pot, up to three times, to pay for pensions advice from an independent financial advisor (Pensions advice allowance)
I spoke to a very helpful man at Pension Wise for over an hour this morning & can highly recommend the service to anybody who is thinking about retiring in the next few years & wants to know more about their options.

I tried it but the 12 year old on the other end of the line didn’t have a clue about what he was talking about.
That's a new one on me. I'm looking to retire at 61, well finish anyway and retire at 62.Originally Posted by trident-7
The CETV i was quoted wasn't big enough and the early retirement penalties start at 36% for a 60 year old, but I'm desperate to finish work.
Cheers for that
It was only introduced in April this year and doesnt apply if you have a defined benefits or final salary scheme, guess not many people do these days.
Ok thanks for that. I was only telling someone at work about this news and now find out it doesn't apply.
