Hi PF,
If you have been discharged and not subject to an IPA/IPO, then you can indeeed cash in your pension.

Hi PF,
An IPA is an Income Payment Agreement. This is a voluntary agreement the OR would have asked you to sign, paying an element of your disposable income every month for 3 years. An IPO is where you decline to sign an IPA and the OR goes to court to obtain an Income Payment Order (the same as an IPA, but granted by the court). As you've heard neither term before, I would suggest you are now free and clear to get on with your life!

Hi PF,
i would suggest that this question would relate to whether the OR had an interest in the pension policy. However, as the rules changed in April 2004 (with the introduction of the 2002 Enterprise Act), you shouldn't have anything to worry about.
