Take your pension savings as cash lump sums

Need help and guidance?

We can’t provide guidance or advice about how to take your pension savings, but a specialist can. Get help with finding the right help and visit our Guidance and advice page.

If you’ve made a decision and would like to take your savings as single lump sum, or a series of lump sums, the first thing you’ll need to do is compare your options and make a decision on which is right for you. 

These payments are known as Uncrystallised Funds Pension Lump Sum, or ‘UFPLS’. They are a single payment, or a series of single payments, made up of 25% tax free cash and 75% income, which is taxed at your marginal rate. 

If you want to take your pension as cash lump sums, please complete the Drawdown Form (available on request), confirming your decision in section 7, and then returning it to us at the postal address below. On receipt of the form we will process payment of your benefits.
