Post office pension - can I claim it back

[Fish the Mod]

I joined Parcelfore in the beginning of December and decided last week it was'nt for me. With the exception of my final wage slip, I have been paying �15.00 per week pension. Can I claim this back

[Loosehead]

Probably, most firms pensions allow for repayment when there has only been a few contributions.

If you can (and I'm not sure - you used to be able to get it back if you had worked for the company for less than 2 years but TMHC) you won't get it all. You'll have to pay back the tax relief you got (probably without noticing it) and possibly buy back into the state scheme.

Yes you can usually claim back your net contributions from occupational pension schemes where you have been contributing for less than two years. (You can't, of course, claim back any contributions your employer might have been making on your behalf.)
