Hi there

I paid into my company's pension scheme for about six years before stopping payments.

The money that I paid into the scheme is now frozen but I am always hearing adverts about releasing pension funds.

Now I don't know what the regulations are but should I make my IP aware of the pension funds as they may be able to release some of these funds and put this towards my TD

As I said I don't know the rules about releasing pension funds and I may be too young to do this, I am 36

Hi gresgow

Pension law is fairly complex, but generally they are excluded from Trust Deeds.

If they were converted to funds pre retirement, then I suspect your trustee would take an interest in these as income.

You generally need to be at least 55 years old to release funds from a pension anyway I believe.
