If memory serves me correctly you're in the DC scheme?

If so, you can do 3 different things with it:

1. Leave it where it is.
2. Transfer it to another DC scheme either with a new employer or set up by yourself.
3. Access the money if you're over 55.

Full RMDCP info can be found here.
General DC info here.
