early retirement

[pattylou]

i am 2 years from retiring,i was made redundant 3 years ago and have had several jobs since,if i retire early who do i have to inform? and what ( if any ) will i be entitled to?.I have a meagre pension from my employment that i was made redundant from which is now on hold until retirement age and i have my full quota of "stamps", also will i be obliged to sign on? Any advice would be appreciated. Thank- You

Why don't you ask your local citizens' advice bureau?

1. No one

2. nothing until 65

3. No

Sorry.

2. should be 60

If you are currently working I'd say it was a good idea to tell your employer you've retired!
