  • Ask the scheme administrators. Most will allow people to work again after a period of time, sometimes this is only a few weeks, but there may be restrictions on the type of work that can be taken.

    Also check for clawback clauses.

    I know NHS pensions have these if you go back to work in the NHS after early retirement.

    i have a friend who worked for an LA, left early, got his pension benefits and then was
    re-employed by the council 9 months later without any loss to his pension.

    this was about 10 years ago and he retired some time ago so the law may have changed since.
