The way your pension works and the options you have depends on the type you have. Our quick and easy tool will:

  • ask you simple questions about your pension

You can use the tool for each of your pensions. It only takes about one minute to complete. 

This tool should be used as a guide. Your pension provider can confirm the exact type and features you have.
