I don't want to say a definitive yes but usually. The best thing to do is to check with the administrators of the scheme in UK and ask for leaving service options. Unless there is something specifically tied in to the contract, you should be able to. Sometimes it can be frustrating getting relevant paperwork signed etc. You might want to post the question on www.askaboutmoney.com
