This is a pension question.

My wife and I have pension funds currently in Singapore. My wife is Singaporean and I worked there for 8 years.
We left in 2001 and have been living/working the Uk ever since.

We plan to remain permanently in the UK and want to know can we withdraw the pension from Singapore and move it to the UK.

If so do we have to place the singapore CPF funds in a uk pension or can we use it to pay off our mortgage?

If we do bring back to the UK do we have to pay any tax on the transfer?

thanks in advance.
