Taking your money
How and when you can access your pension savings
At the end of our financial year, The People’s Pension Trustee – who is responsible for running the Scheme and for looking after all the pots of money held by the Scheme, gave our members the opportunity to ‘ask the Trustee a question’. To answer your questions and help you understand and get the most from your pension savings, we’ve created some short videos.
In these short videos on taking your money, we cover how and when you can access your pension savings, including tax-free cash and what happens to your pension if you die before you claim.
Hear from Baroness Jeannie Drake CBE, Trustee Director, Kevin Martin, Group Director of Customer Services and Phil Brown, Director of Policy & External Affairs as they share information on when and how you can access your pension and the tax implications. Interested to know how you can access your savings, visit our page on how to take your money.

Pensions are long-term investments. If you access your pension savings now, you might miss out on any increase in value. To check if you’re eligible, and the things you need to know, including how and when to access your pension savings, visit our page on how to take your money.
