Still not sure what you are trying to achieve ... Are you planning on
actually taking the benefits soon in the form of a pension, or is this
some way in the future ?

If you are taking the benefits, you may be able to use your wife's tax
allowances when it comes to investing the Tax-Free Lump Sum that you
could take from a pension plan.
