How to apply for retirement pension

When you turn 62, you can start withdrawing your retirement pension. You are free to continue working, or you could decide to retire or work part-time if your employer agrees. It is your responsibility to apply for pension yourself.

Important to know

Those born in 1963 turn 62 in 2025 and are the first to draw their state pension under the new rules.

  • You can choose when you want to start drawing your state pension from the age of 62.
  • You can continue working without any reduction to your pension.
  • You apply yourself to receive your state pension from the us. We do not require any notification from your employer.
  • You can apply for pension by logging in with Bank-ID on My page. If you do not have a Bank-ID, please contact our customer centre directly.
