It sounds logical, but in practical terms, the transfer of your previous pension to the scheme of your new employer will limit your Retirement from that Fund until you retire from the new Employment.
Best advice is to keep each Occupational Pensions separate as this may allow you to take Early Retirement Options and Tax-free cash extractions from previous pensions. E.G. If you are more than 50 years of age, and have left the employment of a previous scheme, you may well be able to transfer your previous pension to a Personal Retirement Bond and Retire early from it while you continue to work with your current Employer. Tax-free lump sum of 25% of Personal Retirement Bond values are permitted by Revenue once you’re more than 50 years of age.
