Pension Wise, a service from MoneyHelper, is a free and impartial government service offering guidance about your retirement options. This service is available online at MoneyHelper by phone on 0800 138 3944 or face to face by appointment.
We're here to help too. We've created Your Retirement Planner which has information and tools to explain and let you explore your options in an easy to understand way. You can also find the forms you need in the Make it happen section. This isn't a financial advice service and we recommend you seek guidance or advice to help you understand your options at retirement. There may be a charge for this. If you don't have a financial adviser, MoneyHelper can help you find one.
We also offer a free, UK-based guidance service, Aegon Assist. Our trained specialists can help guide you through your available options. We don't give you advice but we'll give you information to make your own decisions.
Shopping around
It's important you shop around to get the best deal for you. Depending on your age and personal circumstances, another provider may be better suited to your needs and you may get a higher retirement income.
