Nest pension pot withdrawal

WhiteRabit

Hi.

im currently out of work due to ill health. I’m struggling with money. I would like to withdraw my pension early.  

What I understand is I need to print a form and have a doctor sign it. Has anybody had experience with this? 

Thanks

I can't answer your question about the form. Is this a lump sum you're requesting or a weekly/monthly income? Are you claiming any benefits at all? If so which ones? A drawdown can affect some benefits.

I have just got the forms for my private pension as I'm not able to work and the drs receptionist called said it will cost 100 pounds to sign it. Totally stunned.
