COMING UP TO RETIREMENT/AGE 55?

Whether you are just coming up to age 55 and want to start taking your pension benefits, or approaching 65 and State Pension Age, it is worth learning how to get the most from your pensions. There are some important decisions to make which can significantly affect how much money you can get in retirement. For example, if you have your pension with one company, you are not restricted to taking your benefit from them. You may find you can get more by taking advantage of the Open Market Option, which allows you to compare what other companies would offer you. Also remember that you do not have to stop working if you start taking your pension benefits.
