Yes, it is better to take a lump sum rather than annuities. Lump sums allow you to invest them yourself in places you want to invest them. If you are afraid you will spend the money too fast, take the annuity.
Yes, you can take a lump sum payout from your pension if you resign; however, you should not. Instead, you should open an IRA account. You should have your employer roll over your pension directly into your IRA account so you do not pay a 20% penalty. If you chose to take a check from your employer and use it to open an IRA account then you pay a 20% penalty. Please do not ask me to explain the tax code of The United States of America.

Pension fund generates a one sum that can at some time be withdrawn and used. On the other hand annuities are a relatively secure income that starts paying out at one fixed date after you are finished working. Many people prefer annuity precisely because of this security aspect. Under Pensions you contribute periodically and create a lump sum upto a specified minimum Age. In UK it is currently 55. If you would like to stop accumulating at this age, you get a lump sum. With this lump sum you can start withdrawing in selected frequency (note that the capital(lump sum) gets depleted as you withdraw, unless the Capital is not generating any further income. On the other hand you can buy an Annuity, which is a periodic payment to you based on your lift expectancy (how long you live futher). This is called Secured Pension and the earlier withdrawal type is unsecured pension (because of depletion/the Funds under investment not doing good). In India, we call it as pension and annuity are clubbed together. That is you accumulate and start getting an income as Annuity under the same policy. Please note that when you decide to buy annuity with the accumulated amount, universally, you have an option called Commutation or Tax Free Cash (upto maximum of 25%) to take home in lump sum and the rest is used to give you annuity.
Although you can retire at any age, you can only get your State Pension when you reach State Pension age. The earliest you can receive a company or personal pension is 55 - but this depends on your pension scheme rules. If you're retiring because of ill-health you may be able to take your benefits before this age. If you have serious ill-health and your life expectancy is less than a year then you can retire at any age. You can take up to 100 per cent of your pension fund as a tax-free lump sum. If you're married or have a civil partner, up to 50 per cent of the pension fund may be retained by the scheme. This will be used to provide for a survivor's pension.
It can take up to 60 days to receive your pension check if you withdraw your entire balance. This time frame allows for processing, approval, and distribution of the funds.
If you are working you should not be claiming state benefits (apart form your state retirement pension) as to work and claim social security is fraud. If you mean will your pension increase if you are already drawing it and keep working then the answer is no. However, once you pass pension age you no longer have to pay the national insurance contributions (which contribute to your pension) if you keep working. If you defer taking your state pension and keep working, then from the date you could have taken your state pension you WILL get a pension increase of 10% for each year you defer taking it (or you can take the back pension as a lump sum instead).
A stop payment typically takes 24 to 48 hours to process.
