Hi

1) if the pension is inland revenue approved then it is safe.
2) You will be discharged from bankruptcy after 12 months (there is no annulment unles you pay all your debts in full). If the pension and lump sum are due after discharge they are safe.

3) All debts must be included in bankruptcy, irrespective of your signed agreement.

If you are made redundant whilst bankrupt the redundancy payment would go to the Official Receiver.

Hi

after discharge all pension lump sum payments and redundancy payments are safe. If either are received whilst bankrupt they are not.

During bankruptcy the OR will check the pension fund to see if it is claimable, as in my previous post, if it is inland revenue approved it is safe.

Hi M88,

The only time your pension would be looked at in BR is if you were within 3 years of retirement when you go BR.
