Retiring
If you were employed on or after 1 April 2000 your Normal Pension Date is your 60th birthday.
If you were employed before 1 April 2000 your Normal Pension Date is your 65th birthday. However, if you elected for enhanced accruals of 40ths or 30ths between April 2000 and April 2002, then your Normal Pension Date will be your 60th birthday.
If your Normal Pension Date is your 65th birthday then your 60th birthday is the earliest date from which you are entitled to receive your pension benefits without reduction.
If you would like confirmation of your Normal Pension Date please contact the Pensions Department or check your latest annual benefit statement.
Early retirement is possible from age 55 with the Press’s consent.
It is possible to work past your Normal Pension Date. You can either stay in the Group Pension Scheme and continue to make contributions or defer your pension and stop making contributions.
