I’m assuming that the DWP pension that you have is a money purchase scheme and not a defined benefit scheme. Very few companies now offer a defined benefit scheme due to the costs – but given that I am paying the money for the DWP pension scheme, they may very well be being generous with my money.
You should ask which the scheme is (money purchase or defined benefit) – even if it is a defined benefit scheme, you should be able to take 25% of the value tax free by the rules of the scheme, and then either receive a pension (reduced due to taking it earlier than your normal retirement age), or transfer the value to another approved scheme and access all the money as if it were a money purchase scheme. If it is a money purchase scheme, it will make it simpler for you to get hold of the £2,053.
So either way you should be able to get your hands on the £2,053. Bear in mind that all this takes time to arrange, I would not expect you to have the money in the bank for at least a couple of months.
You need to speak to the pensions department to get more information on the options open to you by the rules of the scheme. They should freely give this information, but they cannot give investment advice on what the ‘best’ option for your personal circumstances is.
