Re: news just in re transferring uk pensions
Just a thought...how about opening a super fund with an 'approved' Aussie Super provider just long enough to receive your UK benefits, then transfer the money over to your normal super fund and close it ?
I can't see any way at this stage of getting a pension company to do anyhting in the time limit - it takes weeks even to get a response, nevermind a cheque!

Why would the ATO want to put people off bringing their pensions to Aus ?
Makes no sense at all.
BTW...is that you Rog ?

This could mean big problems for anyone migrating to Oz in the next few months wishing to transfer their pensions.
