Example

Bill joined the Scheme in November 2006. Let’s say he asks to retire at age 60 - he is choosing to draw his benefits five years before 65, so he will find both his pension and lump sum reduced as follows:

Pension reduction: 24%
Lump sum reduction: 12%
All the factors are shown in the table on the right.

* Retiring at your own choice

Did you know

* You can opt to retire but draw your benefits later with a smaller reduction or at 65 with no reduction

* There are never any reductions if your employer retires you through redundancy or ill health
