At retirement 25% of the pension assets can be withdrawn as a tax-free lump sum (subject to HMRC lifetime allowance limits) provided that it is five years after transfer into a QROPS.

When a member of the scheme reaches retirement age they can draw down a regular income from the QROPS for life. The Trustees would provide an actuarial calculation of the benefits payable.

You cannot transfer a UK state pension into a QROPS.
