Pension Timescales for Info

Post by Hawkey99 »

Just phoned about taking my NRA 65.

Hope this info help.

There is one number to ring which should get everything sorted for RMSPS and RMPP.

0114-241-4545

They quote 3 weeks for forms to get to me to be completed.

Then 3 months to process the forms.

We shall see......

Can I ask what's the relevance of the new scheme to taking your other pensions?

dont really want to be in a pension for a couple of years hardly worth the hassle and only using the timescale for the new pension as a possible trigger nothing else

Personally I don't expect to be in RM employment for more than 6 months after the new CDC scheme starts, but have every intention of joining it.
It won't give me much of a pension. But with the ability to transfer out, paying in and taking advantage of the 'free money' is a no-brainer in my opinion.

You have 2 options with the DBCBS:

1. Take it predominantly with your NRA65 benefits.
2. Transfer it out to a DC pension, where only 25% is guaranteed to be tax free.

Presumably you are taking it early and not approaching NRA. Normally you only have to request a quote when taking any pension early.
