Advantages of taking civil service pension before NPA?
Sorry if this is a dithering question but I often read that actuarial reduction for taking Classic before 60, and Alpha before 67 (SPA), is a big hit (4-5% reduction per year before NPA). Therefore many people defer taking them until NPA, using ISAs etc to bridge the gap. Coming up to 56 and am considering the reduction…
