Client review
You handled my request very professionally and found me a provider who came up with 60% more annuity than my own provider due to my type 2 diabetes. This has made a big difference to my lifestyle and all I did was sign the form.

Client case study:
Mr Eccles, Derby
I had a final salary scheme until age 60 but this was then shut down and replaced by a money purchase scheme. Due to ill health I wasn’t able to accumulate as much as I would have liked in this second scheme. My pension provider didn’t offer enhanced annuities so I had to look elsewhere to get an increased rate.
At retirement I searched on the internet and Hargreaves Lansdown’s service came up top. Hargreaves Lansdown searched a range of enhanced providers and helped me find the one offering the highest income. I then went ahead with the most competitive provider who offered an increase of 43% on the income quoted by my own provider. Hargreaves Lansdown kept in contact and helped me throughout the process. Since the annuity has been set up I’ve had no problems at all, the payments simply go into my account each month.
