I agree with Skippy and debtinfo - my three pensions are safe
DO seek advice as necessary - I am sure some of the other experts will come along.
regards, Richard

Let me re phrase my last.
A normal company pension that the benefits can only be drawn down on achievement of an age (65) is to the best of my knowledge safe
however an additional pension savings scheme or private pension scheme is very vulnerable as it is considered to be like an endowment.
the question to ask your employer is can you as an individual access that pension pot to say purchase a property or car , if the answer is YES so can the OR access the policy

certain types of pension they can take the profits
ask the question direct to your employers HR team
