Early Retirement

Hi, the Company that I work for (Multi National) allows early retirement at 63 with full works pension.
I am 62 and have told them that in May 2013 when I am 63 I intend to retire and claim my Company pension.
I am currently in remission from bladder cancer and my boss to her credit has asked HR in our Head Office if I can leave even earlier through either voluntary or compulsory redundancy.
HR have replied and said that I am eligible now to claim my pension and if I intend to wait til I am 63 then thats fine but they wont make me redundant as its money they dont need to spend.
BUT, now this is whats puzzling me ..... HR says that if I want to retire early (next year) then I have to RESIGN in order to get my pension and not just retire. Surely there has to be something wrong here
Can anyone advise please

this is correct - there is no retirement age anymore - it was abolished last year - now as you cannot be forced to retire its up to you to do so and the only way out is to resign.Hi, the Company that I work for (Multi National) allows early retirement at 63 with full works pension.
