In this podcast episode, I cover two vital topics:
- How to access small cash sums from your pension pot
- The pros & cons of cashing out your pension entirely if you wish to do so

Once you take money out of your pension pot, any growth in its value is taxable. Lump sums could reduce your entitlement to benefits.
If you’re planning to put the money you’ve taken into savings or other investments, you should always compare and consider inheritance tax
