If you can afford to, do so but still pay into your alternative private scheme as well.


This way you will get the best of both worlds.

There's a lot of 'depends'. You pension provider should send you a forecast of your pension every year; if this is a lot less than the state one, then you're probably better opting back in.


If it's a comparable amount, then it's a lot harder decision!
