Do I have to “retire” before I can take my benefits?

There is no requirement in the tax legislation that you must finish working before you take your pension benefits.

Your scheme rules may allow you to take your pension benefits whilst continuing to work, regardless of whether or not you remain with the same employer.

You should check with your scheme administrator to ascertain whether your scheme rules allow this.
