Sometimes a new pension will need to be stopped. Usually a long standing fund will be allowed to continue, but you might have to reduce payments into the fund to the scheme minimum.
My opinions are merely that .. opinions based on experience. Always seek professional advice.

As long as the annuities are at a reasonable level the expenditure should be allowable.

A lot depends on whether the pension is compulsory or voluntary, and whether its deducted from your salary or its private. And how much it is. Usually reasonable pensions that have been ongoing for a while are allowed.

I was allowed to keep mine and it was deducted from my salary. It was quite a high contribution as well but it may have been because of my advancing years!
