    I’m 46 and not really thinking about pension age ...
    I'm about a decade older than you. I'm planning to retire next year.
    46 might be a good time to start thinking about pensions and retirement. By the time you're 57 (minimum age for claiming a pension) you'll have 26 years in your Civil Service pension. Depending on your wider financial situation, you might also be ready to retire. Even if you're not, you'll be close enough that it'll be on the horizon.
    I had to look that word up, you learn something new every day !
