Explained in plain English

How much could I get?

The story highlights a 62-year-old with £100,000 potentially receiving £13,800 annually for five years, plus a £50,000 lump sum. This annual payment is more than the full new state pension of £12,548. Fixed-term annuities offer a way to bridge the gap before your state pension begins, providing a regular income and often a lump sum.
