Re: Super anyway to cash it out when moving back to the UK?

good find there, thanks

Is that possible?, it seems silly to leave and have it consumed by fees, is there any other options.

Re: Health Care Insurance

Also worth mentioning you pay a 2% charge for every year over 30 where you haven't been paying private insurance. So if you haven't had it before you might get an extra 14% charge.
