Opting Out Of Nest Pension Scheme?

[anthony25]

Hi all I’ve recently left a job I was there a year but now moving abroad to work with my uncle I have £222 in my nest pension scheme is it possible to close the pension scheme and get my money back?..I’m 38 years old. Not sure if I’ve posted this in the right place eek!

I only scanned the article but it's not cler to me whether the option to take your cash back if you go to work abroad applies in all cases or just if over age 55. I'd be surprised if you could take it at 38 because for all they know you could come back after, say, a year. Maybe as it's such a trivial amount they might let you have it, minus any tax relief perhaps. Might be worth a call to NEST.
