My employer is offering voluntary redundancy with a months pay for each year of work so I'd get 4 months gross salary. I'm 50 and have been paying in to local govt./university final salary pension since 21. I don't have the option to get my pension made up to the equivalent of working to 60 because I'm under 55. Is the offer worth taking? I know that depends on my chances of finding another job that pays equally well or better but we have no mortgage, kids grown up but still at home and I'm not the main breadwinner.

Surely only you and your OH can answer this?

No continuity across jobs giving more than 4 years?

2 jobs in 25 years, latest one for 4 years allowed me to transfer pension but not service.
