On the people app, there's a tile titled " pensions collective plan", click on this & opt in to the lump sum booster.(If you want to, of course)

not free money though is it?
It's in return for you investing 1%

splitting hairs I know and I agree it's a good deal, but just wouldn't call it free money

As we cannot take more than 25% of our pensions tax free, I'm guessing that it means more of the pot is left as pension, or am I missing something here?
And does the same apply to the AVCs? Thanks.

How is it a silly post/response?

A post titles pension booster, with responses about it being easy and to find it on the People App... nobody mentions that it's the Lump Sum Booster being referred to.

then to say it's free money.

That's akin to saying the pension is free money because you invest 6% and the business puts in 13.6%.
It's not free.

Pedantic post, perhaps, but silly?
