<p>Ask your provider if your pension has any special features or restrictions. This will help you to decide on an option. For example, you may have a guaranteed annuity rate. This could be better than annuities offered by other providers, meaning that a guaranteed income is your best option.</p>

<h2>The 6 options discussed in the appointment</h2>

<% if appointment_50_54? %>
<!-- section: options may have changed warning -->
<p>These are the options that are available now. They may have changed by the time you reach 55 and are able to take money from your pension pot.</p>
<p>You may be able to take your pot sooner but only in rare cases, eg early retirement due to ill health.</p>
<% end %>

<h3 class="option option--untouched">Leave your pot untouched</h3>

<p>You don’t have to take money from your pot straight away. You can leave your money invested and take it when you’re ready. Your pot could grow further and give you a larger amount of money to last for a shorter amount of time. You may also have greater choice in the future if pension providers introduce new products.</p>

<h3 class="option option--annuity">Get a guaranteed income (annuity)</h3>
<p>This is an insurance policy you buy to give you a guaranteed income, normally for the rest of your life or for a fixed number of years. You can take up to 25% of your pot tax free before you buy an annuity. There are different types of annuities and it’s important you buy the right one for you.</p>

<h2>Benefits and pension income</h2>
<p>If you’re claiming benefits or planning to apply for means-tested benefits in the future, any income from your pension pot will be taken into account. This may affect your entitlement to some benefits or mean you get less money.</p>

<h3>When your pension affects your benefits</h3>

<p>If you deliberately spend or give away money (including tax-free cash) from your pot to get or increase benefits and help with care costs, DWP, HMRC or your local council may assess your finances again and treat you as still having that money.</p>
