Where clients accessed their pension prior to 6 April 2024 and used part or all of their LTA, they have the option to apply for a certificate providing them with additional allowances.

The value of investments and the income from them, can go down as well as up, so clients may get back less than they invest. The value of benefits depends on individual circumstances. The minimum age clients can normally access their pension savings is currently 55, and is due to rise to 57 on 6 April 2028, unless they have a lower protected pension age. Different options may have different effects for tax purposes, different implications for pension provision and different impacts on other assets and financial planning.
