As far as taking it now is concerned,the answer is you might be able to with the agreement of the trustee. But it will be reduced for early payment.

Hello Folks, as I'm 60 in September can I draw a lump sum and my Pension or is it deferred till I' 65; if so do I have to contact them about my choice. Thank You. :confused

You can take your pension and lump sum when you reach 60,
or defer it if you want to. It's up to you.
I think the Pensions Section will contact you to ask, but you
could contact them to check.
