Pension advice allowance -New CDC scheme warning

[stephen500]

Note that the pension advice money is only paid
1) If you have taken your NRA 65
2) You have left RM within 13 weeks of taking your NRA 65
3) The New CDC scheme is not in operation?
So and yes I know it is only £750, but if you want it, I think you have to do all of the above and do so before the new scheme comes in.

Is it true the NRA60 Benefits are getting knocked on the head and when is this likely to come into effect?

[RobertT]

The current scheme is closing fairly soon and being replaced with the new cdc scheme.

What you've already accrued via NRA60/65 benefits can still be taken as usual.

As Robert T says you can still take your NRA 60/65 as normal and indeed your DBCBS.
No one is taking any thing away from you that you have already earned.

Once again I'm grateful for any advice given, but having left RM on the 16th January and not applied for my NRA65 until after 16thJanuary, how does the above affect my circumstances? IE. should I wait until NRA65 is granted, which in theory could take me past the 13 weeks of leaving, or should I apply straight away although I've yet to receive my NRA 65? Puzzled!

I think I would be tempted to email and ask for guidance of process and explain fully your circumstance.

At least then there is a record of your enquiry....
