Retirement

More about the different types of retirement, and examples of what you can expect to receive under each type.

Retiring after your normal pension age

If you keep working after your normal pension age(link is external) you will continue to pay into the scheme, building up further pension. 

You can take your pension when: 

  • you retire
  • you reach the eve of your 75th birthday
  • you have your employer's permission for flexible retirement, whichever occurs first

If you take your benefits after your normal pension age, in addition to the extra membership you build up in the scheme, your pension built can be increased because it is starting later than expected.
