High Wycombe has been named as one of the centres for delivering new free face to face pension guidance as the radical reforms to retirement kick in in April.
Citizens Advice has revealed it will be one of the first 44 bureaux in England and Wales which will be delivery centres for face to face ‘Pension Wise’ sessions.
Gillian Guy, Chief Executive of Citizens Advice, said: "Pensions guidance will be crucial in helping people understand their options as they approach retirement age. These 44 Citizens Advice Bureaux selected as delivery centres will be key to bringing the Pension Wise service to life and making sure that as many people as possible can access the guidance."
People will be able to go into any Citizens Advice Bureau to find out about the Pension Wise service, whether they’re eligible and be referred to book in with the nearest delivery centre. People will also be able to access guidance and information over the phone from The Pensions Advisory Service (TPAS) and online through the Pensions Wise website.
The organisation says it is working with the Treasury to make sure as many people as possible can easily access a face to face Pension Wise session.
CAB could not confirm exactly when appointments could be made from, but the scheme is expected to be active ahead of the April reforms.
