If you take a lump sum out of your super, the money is no longer considered to be super. However, if you ask your fund to set up regular payments from your super it is considered an income stream.

You may be able to withdraw your super in several lump sums. If your super fund allows it, you may be able to withdraw some or all your super in a single payment.
