Hi. Due to growing medical costs I am considering making a financial hardship withdrawal from my current fund for the maximum 10k. I have a legacy account with the fund, and I am 5 years from retirement age and the age that was set in the policy. Although I am allowed to make this withdrawal, I have been told that there will be a +$600 exit fee. I have since discovered a new legislation that states all super funds to be banned from charging exit fees. Will this affect me? Is this law now applicable and if not when will it be? Thank you, David.
