Pension Wise is a service from MoneyHelper, backed by government. We offer free, impartial guidance to over 50s. We’ll explain the options to take money from your defined contribution pension pots.
Not sure if you have a defined contribution pension? Find out your pension type
During your appointment, we’ll explain:
- how each pension option works
- what tax you could pay
- how to look out for scams.
Online appointments are self-guided and can be done at your own pace. Appointments on the phone last around 60 minutes.
You can have an appointment if:
- you’re aged 50 or over and have a UK-based defined contribution pension pot (this could be a personal or workplace pension), or
- you've inherited a pension pot or are able to take your pension early due to ill health.
It doesn’t matter how small your pension pot is.
If you’re under 50 or only have a defined benefit pension, you usually won’t be able to have a Pension Wise appointment, but we can still help you
