Hello

 

a bit of a long shot but maybe someone on here has had a similar experience or is going through a similar issue!

 

To cut a long story short, i have now left my civil service job, up until 2015 i was on the Classic pension scheme but then had to move to Alpha ( no choice because of my age at the time ) so 3 years.

 

I will shortly receive my options letter, but having read on the civil service website i may be able to take my pension before age 55, i am 53. i aware i won't be able to take the Alpha part of the pension until i am 55 but it clearly states on the website that the Classic portion of my pension can be taken at 50.

 

The reason i am asking is because theres seem to be some confusion about the Alpha transition, i am also aware of the pension reductions should i take it now, but i am ok with that.

 

Obviously i know i have to wait for the options letter but maybe someone can shed some light on what to expect?

 

Thank you in advance anyway!!

Well, the actuarial reductions will be massive and after the pensions reform back in 2010 I am not certain you can still take the pension before 55 anyways. As for the Alpha, that is like a money purchase scheme if my reading of it is correct so wont be able to take it yet. It wil be frozen until you can.
