If you’re planning to retire this year, it’s important to get your application to us six months before your planned retirement date. This is due to the high number of applications we receive (especially for September) and the additional time needed to make your choices in respect of Transitional Protection.

You can find out more about the retirement process on our website. (This link opens in a new window) We also have a range of videos and factsheets to help you as you plan.
