You can usually start taking money from your pension at age 55 (rising to age 57 from April 2028). You could take it early if you are in Ill Health.
Some people have a protected pension age as part of their scheme. Before 6 April 2006 some people had the right to start taking their pension before the normal minimum pension age. This is specific to a particular registered pension scheme. For example, someone could have a protected pension age of 50 under one scheme and a protected pension age of 52 under another pension scheme.
Our pension does not have this benefit.
