When can I access my Sanlam RA money before age 55?


Question:

I am 52 and resigned from work in 2011. I now have serious illness (Heart Failure) and I am not working. Is it posible to make withdrawals or take a lump sum from my Sanlam Retirement Annuity Fund since I have financial problems?

Answer:

Mampho, We are 10X Investments, not Sanlam. But you can access your RA money before 55 for reasons of ill health (not because you have financial problems). But you will require medical proof of this (to the effect that you you can no longer work) and you may be asked to undergo further tests by the trustees, at your expense.
