Hi, I will be 66 in August and have been awarded a State Con. Pension (SCP) commencing from Aug. 9. My employer has asked if I would consider staying on (full time, at least 1yr). The job would be part funded by CSP (15 hrs) and my employer (24 hrs). Does anyone know if I can defer my pension (even though it’s ready to roll) and take up this position in August. I have emailed both social welfare (pension section) and revenue but they’re very slow to respond. What is the procedure for deferring your pension. Thank you.
