I have reached retirement age and plan to retire to Thailand. Can anyone advise the way to organise getting your Aussie pension and what to watch out for? Do they reduce the pension if you live in Thailand and do I need to spend a certain amount of time back in Oz? Thanks.

Fantastic news for anyone who has a UK pension ( no need to be a UK citizen) and has lived abroad for more than five years.

You are now able to cash in your pension whether your in your 40s, 50s or 60s. and pay NO TAX

Knowing us lot, not many will reach pension age and why should we wait .... lets enjoy our money now.

I'm getting mine at 44!

I just think it's important to let people know that they can release their pension now and enjoy spending it .... Why wait till pension age.

If you know anyone who has a UK pension ... let them know they can release it .... OUR government and pension providers won't let us know ... for obvious reasons, the want us to wait till retirement age, which they keep upping.

If anyone needs any more information then please email me ...... and get a no obligation quote of how much you can receive from your pension.
