taking full pension at 60 but continuing to work

Post by davethepostie »

this has probably been asked before but i am new to this board and haven't been able to find an answer. if i wish to carry on working after reaching 60 can i still take my full pension. by that i mean the larger lump sum and lower pension. i am getting that knackered these days that by the time i am 65 i won't be fit enough to spend it.

Yes you can.

All pension earned before April 2010 can be taken at 60 with no reduction. Any pension earned after that date is reduced for early payment.

Be carefull, if you take your pension I think you will lose your death in service benefit (sorry for being so morbid).
