Options and pension Task

Options

A non-mandatory retirement age policy gives you more choice on when to retire. It will be assumed that you wish to continue working unless you notify us. Recent reforms to our pension scheme introduced partial retirement as a way to support a more gradual shift towards full retirement.

If you wish to consider the partial retirement option, more information is available on the Civil Service Pensions website.

Affordability will be a big consideration, so you will want to keep a close eye on your pension – when you can take it and how much you will have. Generally you can only take your full pension when you retire after pension age (60 for members of classic, classic plus and premium, 65 for nuvos members).

If your pension needs a boost, added pension is a more flexible way to increase it. For more information see the Civil Service Pensions website.
