Cashing in pension pots is ‘the biggest con of all’, nothing more than a tax fishing exercise.

On the International Day for Older People last month, the Midlands TUC Pensioners Committee, in conjunction with the British Pensioners Trade Union Action Association, held a ‘Putting Pensions Right’ conference in Coventry.

It aimed to raise awareness about the problems facing pensioners and to confront the myths surrounding pensions and older people.
