Good news for retirees as maximum drawdown income increases

17th January 2013 by RetireEasy





RetireEasy is pleased to report that draft legislation has today been published to increase maximum drawdown income from 100% of GAD to 120% GAD. 

This will commence for income reviews falling due on or after 25 March 2013.  Richard Collinson says ‘’ this will be a welcome relief to many retirees who have been hamstrung by falling gilt yields directly caused by the Government’s QE measures – this easement is well overdue’’
