Retiring early

If you’re thinking about retiring before your normal retirement date (age 65), there are two really important factors to consider:

• do you understand how your pension is reduced for early retirement?
• will your income be sufficient to enable you to retire early?

You should request a pension quote to review your finances and help with your retirement planning. There’s also more information in the Scheme booklet (log into your account on MyPension.com/LHPS and select 'Documents') or see the Retirement – what to expect guide below.
