For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.I think the arrangement is that if your total pension pot from all your private pensions add up to �15,000 or less then you can get it as a lump sum.
However I think your pot from this pension is probably about �26,000 - 20 multiplied by �1,300.
The powers that be assume you will live for 20 years after retirement,so I suspect the answer to your question is probably no.Although you will be able to take up to 15% as a lump sum!
