Leaving work

[Shape]

Hi,

I am leaving my current employment to become self employed. I've paid into a pension scheme for the past 5 years or so and my employers have offered to:

1. transfer to another employers scheme
2. transfer to a personal retirement bond (PRB) or PRSA that you arrange yourself

I'm not interested in either one and would actually like to get my hands on the cash instead. How could I do this if possible?​

You can take early retirement options with the agreement of the scheme trustees if you're aged 50 or over, but you can't access your pension fund until then.
