Your occupation changes the starting questions
Pension rules do not normally assign a product simply because of a job title. What matters is whether you are employed, self-employed, a company director or a public servant; which scheme covers you; how your income is paid; and the benefits you have already built up.

Explore the guideWhat every profession should check

The profession pages help you prepare for a review; they do not calculate a scheme entitlement or make a personal recommendation.
