Oh I've already managed to prise mine out of them, well part of it. I have two occupational pensions from different employers who, for various reasons, refused to let me put it all in one pot. One agreed that due to ill health retirement I could claim it early and they have been paying it since I was 55. The other bunch wouldn't play that game. Meanwhile HMG taxes the pittance I do get at a ridiculous level. Apparently disability benefits are paid tax free but they do count against you tax liability when you have to pay tax on a pension so they swipe the lot out of the pension payments. They take about 33% of what I am paid. Typical Gordon Brown accounting.
Meanwhile the Bradford and Bingley were still advertsing on the TV last night. Bastards
