You can't access a company scheme until you're aged over 55. If youre still paying into a scheme try and transfer the money across.

Try looking at the Pensions Advisory Service website. Very useful information.

You can't as you are too young. Unless you were only at the company for a short period. Hope it helps x

You can cash in a pension at 60(maybe less for woman)It must be under 18,000

Like others said , depends on type of pension . Many company pensions can take a tax free cash sum but only at the minimum age they've set - generally that's 55, some occupations are younger. If you only contributed for a short time I'm sure you can get a refund of contributions - I've got two years in my head, but it's a long time since I worked in that field. It's all going to depend on the type of pension you've got. Like others said - best to get proper financial advice.

There was a recent news report that suggested there will be a 40% tax on people cashing in all of their pensions to try and curb a mass withdrawal. Taking out up to £3500 shouldn't be affected, but sums over this would be likely to attract a hight rate.

There was discussion later with Cameron saying we trust people to spend their money wisely and how they like, but I would seek advice re. the tax rate when you look to cash it in
