pension advice

Post by deano12 »

Hi All. l retired on ihr from Royal Mail in 2013. l am lucky enough finance wise that l don,t have to take my pension till l,m 60. l,m 57 in March . I see not much has changed since l left. A good job ruined by inept managers from top to DO,s. My question is will l be better off taking my pension 2 years early before said changes in 2018,although l realise nothing has been cast in stone yet. Many thanks, my support is always with you,such as it is.

Any pension already built up is NOT affected by future changes. It will only affect pensions going forward. Probably from 01/04/18. I wouldn't worry about it mate.
