Pension Wise appointments available in Newry

On 6th April 2015 new pension reforms came into effect which gave people over 55 the opportunity to decide what they do with their defined contribution pension pot.

Pension Wise is a new free and impartial government guidance service set up to help people understand their pension options.

Speaking to Newry Times, Frank Rogers, Pension Wise Guidance Specialist said, “Good guidance is a crucial step towards a financially stable retirement. We have a strong history of helping people across Northern Ireland.

“We already support people with many of the issues affecting retirement so we’re pleased to be providing pension guidance through the Pension Wise service.”

Pension Wise is designed to help people make the most of new pension freedoms and is targeted at those who are 55 or over, and have a defined contribution pension. Newry and Mourne Citizens Advice has Pension Wise Guidance Specialists available for face to face appointments.

To find out if you are eligible for guidance, or to book a face to face appointment, drop in to Newry and Mourne Citizens Advice or call 028 302 62591. Alternatively contact Frank on 07736196496 or e-mail francis.rogers@citizensadvice.co.uk
