Royal mail pension plan

Post by oliel »

Hi i recently left royal mail and got sent a letter from Royal Mail Pension Plan giving me an illustration of my pension. It s a regular income figure aged 65 benefit of £2352 per year and pension supplement of £471, then it shows Defined benefit cash balance scheme of £32k I keyed this into AI as I was trying to explore retirement options.

\AI has told me that the defined benefit cash scheme (known as cash balance) of £32k can be taken tax free is that correct?

Thanks they have made these pension sooo confusing.
