Further reduction in Income Drawdown limits
Tue, 20 Sep 2011 10:13:25 GMT
The gilt yield (used to calculate the maximum income for Capped Drawdown) for September 2011 is at an all time low, meaning that maximum income for new Capped Drawdown cases in October will be squeezed even further. The effect of the new income limits introduced in April 2011, together with historically low gilt yields means that maximum income is around 30% lower now, compared to March 2011 (for a male aged 65).

It is however possible to apply for protection to maintain the lifetime allowance at £1.8m and HMRC have now made the application forms available at http://www.hmrc.gov.uk/pensionschemes/apss227.pdf
