I will retire in June, took part of my pension at 60. Still in RMPP. What should I do about the review pension options RMPP or RMDCP. Help please.

If you want to take your post 1st April 2018 benefits at the same time as your NRA65 pension then go for the DBCBS, it’s more likely to be tax free.

If you want the flexibility to take your money at a later date then go for the RMDCP, but you’re more likely to have to pay tax on it.

But if you’re only going to be paying into whichever one you choose for a couple of months, then it’s not going to amount to very much money anyway.

Personally I think the DBCBS is the better option for most people and in particular section C members. But it will always depend on your own circumstances.
