Citizens Advice Denbighshire is offering Pension Wise appointments to help people plan for their future

Citizens Advice Denbighshire is delivering Pension Wise appointments across Denbighshire, giving people access to free and impartial pension guidance in their local area.

Following pension reforms on April 6, people approaching retirement have greater freedom over how they can use their pension pots. People will be able to take a lump sum, take out an annuity or a mixture of both. Pension Wise is a new Government service designed to help people make sense of their pension options, and empower them to make the right choices for them.

Citizens Advice are delivering free face to face Pension Wise sessions which are available to book now and will be delivered at a location local to the user. The 45 minute appointments will be tailored to the individual, taking into account the value of their pension and their plans for retirement.

A Pension Wise appointment may help you if you are approaching retirement or are 50 or over and have a defined contribution pension. Guidance appointments are also available on the telephone, delivered by the Pensions Advisory Service. People can also get information and general guidance online at www.pensionwise.gov.uk.

To book a face to face appointment, call the Pension Wise team in Denbigh on 01745 818081.

Users from outside the Denbighshire delivery area or who prefer to use the telephone guidance service should call 0300 330 1001.
