Pension help

Can I draw my teacher's pension, retire and still work in a shop, say? I am 57 and wanted to reduce my working week to 4 days from September but this has not been allowed. I am now thinking of retiring after next year and drawing my pension - am I allowed to get another, totally different (and less demanding) job too?
Sorry if this is a silly question...:o

Yes you can draw your pension and continue to work.I am an Independent Financial Adviser (IFA). The comments I make are just my opinion and are for discussion purposes only. They are not financial advice and you should not treat them as such. If you feel an area discussed may be relevant to you, then please seek advice from an Independent Financial Adviser local to you.0

Yes I drew my pension out early,jumped off the career bandwagon and now work in a shop plus several other jobs - it all adds up to nearly as much as I earned before and with much more freedom and less hassle.
I have also just become eligible for my state pension too, but that's no reason to stop working either-I now enjoy going to work!
Do you need to wait until next year?0
