Pension Freedom Special

Money Box

Available for over a year

From 6th April those aged 55+ will enjoy much greater freedom over what they can do with their individual pension pots. Paul Lewis talks to a panel of experts from the public, private and charitable sectors about what those approaching retirement can and cannot do with their pension funds. Money Box looks at what the impact of this change is likely to be, the potential dangers, the tax and benefit implications and where to get the free guidance, or whether to opt for paid for regulated advice. Joining the programme will be: Alan Higham, Fidelity; Flora Maudsley-Barton, Parsonage Financial; Michelle Cracknell, TPAS; and Sally West, Age UK.
