Not all private pensions , I had two , one I took at 55 , one I couldn't take until I was 60

Every Private Pension Scheme will have its own Rules on the retirement age at which full pension may be taken; younger age on which retirement is possible, but with reduced benefits; separate provisions for early retirement because of ill health; and, usually, details of an appeals/special circumstances [e.g. hardship] process for the circumstances of a specific case for the pension date to be taken outwith the aforementioned Rules, subject to the approval by the Pension Trustees.

Not totally sure of the ins and outs but this seems to suggest that in most circumstances you can. It might not be ideal but is possible.

I haven't read all of these posts, but in general as we are all living longer , then you will not be receiving any less money from the state pension than previous generations did.
It just starts later , but then goes on for a longer period.
Unfortunately the government doesn't have a bottomless jar of money to give out, with also less younger people paying into it.
I'll now wait for all the flak coming my way from very differing views.

The point is the government does not have any money, the money is our taxes etc so given the choice I do believe people would rather have had the state pension starting at 60 for women and 65 for men and most would be happy to contribute a bit more for keeping it. Keep going down this road and the government will not have money for pensions to pay the children and grandchildren.

Equal pay , equal pension. It’s not one and not the other, no cherry picking.

If Women actually had equal pay I don't think anyone would argue but it is clear they do not, Women do not have the same choices as Men and typically the women had an increase of 6 years from 60 to 66 whilst males had a 1 year increase in the same time frame.

Well if I was working with a woman hgv driver of which there is many getting exactly the same money, which they do. I would be more then p##### of if I had to work 5 years longer, I would want a substantial pay rise to cover it.

Or another way of looking at it for a generation men were unfairly dealt with by women getting their state pension earlier despite statistically living longer....bonkers.

And women live longer and continue to draw the man's pension once he is granted eternal rest.

Unless you're on benefits your whole life , then you just slide off the benefit tree onto the pension tree

Credits for unemployed people looking for work​

If you are unemployed and looking for work you can get credits, provided you are:

• claiming Jobseeker's Allowance
• available for and actively searching for work but not in education or doing paid work for 16 hours or more a week

These credits count towards State Pension.


If you are receiving Jobseeker's Allowance, you do not have to take any action. If you are not receiving Jobseeker's Allowance, you must contact your local Jobs and Benefits office.

Indeed Men should have argued to retire earlier

Yes they never seem to give, usually take. Could you honestly see them lowering the retirement age for men.
