(This archived guidance relates to HMRC discretionary practice before the 6th April 2006. For current guidance on Registered Pension Schemes see the Registered Pension Schemes Manual)

[PN6A.4]

When a pension becomes payable from pension credit rights it can be

  • secured by the purchase of an annuity, or
  • paid under an annuity purchase deferral and income drawdown arrangement that meets the requirements of Appendix XII of PN, or
  • paid from the scheme resources – this would only apply in the case of a large self- administered scheme.
