UK pension "Standard Lifetime Allowance"
I have been receiving monthly payments from a private uk pension for 2 years. I just received a letter from the pension provider saying i have used up 16% of the Standard Lifetime Allowance. The allowance for 2019/2020 is 1.055 million pounds. Can someone please explain how the percentage used is calculated as mine seems very high.

No there is no life insurance involved. Am i correct in saying that the percentage is calculated as. The total value of the pension pot plus any payments (including lump sum payments) received. then calculated as a % of the 2019/1020 allowance.
