I have friends, who tried to persuade me to take my pension early, as they did. They are regretting it now.
Experiencing trauma like a partner having a heart attack, does change our perspective. I know, I had two heart attacks, hadn't a clue there was anything wrong with my heart.
It took some time to come to terms with it. My cardiac rehab included psychological counselling, which I initially refused, saying I was OK. However, I wasn't and benefitted greatly from it in the end. I would hope your husband was offered the same.
However, I wouldn't rush into, but would take time to think about the implications. It's only ten weeks since the heart attack and in my opinion, too soon to make a huge decision like this.
I did eventually go down the route of draw down, but used a financial advisor, as the process wasn't as easy as I had anticipated and HMRC made a mess of the tax.
I hope you can come to the right decision.
