There has been a case of confusion in respect of the Money Purchase Annual Allowance (MPAA).

Accessing benefits from a Defined Benefit Pension arrangement – such as the NHS Pension Scheme, does not reduce the Annual Allowance available.  The impact would be created if benefits are taken from a Money Purchase – Defined Contribution Scheme.
