Restore the right of all pensioners to draw down their pension pot as they wish

Petition Details

Restore the right to all pensioners, regardless of any exiting annuities, to draw down all or some portion of their pension pot. All pensioners over 75 should automatically have this right. Anyone with a potentially fatal illness should also have this right regardless of age.

Additional Information

Many annuity holders could make more sensible, immediate use of their own money and no longer have to pay administration fees to the pension pot holder.

This petition was rejected

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:

Petitions need to call on the Government or Parliament to take a specific action.

We understand that you are concerned about access to private pension funds, but we're not sure exactly rule change you want the Government to reverse.

You could start a new petition explaining clearly what you would like the Government or Parliament to do.
