Chapter 5
Postponing the Basic Pension
You can postpone drawing your retirement pension for an indefinite period after reaching the state Pension Age. This will increase the deferred pension by around 10.4% for every year you put off claiming. You can also get a lump-sum payment if you defer your pension for at least a year.
