Lump Sum Allowance (LSA) assessment form 

There’s a limit on the amount of benefits members can take as tax-free lump sums across all registered pension schemes, these are known as: the Lump Sum Allowance, Lump Sum & Death Benefits Allowance and the Overseas Transfers Allowance. These allowances take into account lump sums previously taken, and they may be increased where members hold valid Lifetime Allowance protections which provide for a higher protected lump sum. You will need to complete this form if you have taken benefits previously so we can accurately assess what lump sum allowance you have remaining.
