Taking pension at 54

Post by **Paul65** » 06 Nov 2019, 22:09

I have the forms to fill in and take to my gp to fill in too, I'm confused as capita who sent me the forms require a report from my gp but when i was talking to an advisor at capita they say i have to attend a medical too, i have nothing to hide about my disability and heart failure but why do i have to have a medical by capita practitioner when my gp will be sending a medical report.

must just be their protocol. needs to satisfy their procedure before they pay out. you can ask to have a medical that is near your home though.

Don't think you can take your pension until 55 at the earliest. Unless there are special cases.
