    Snap - I'm planning on finishing then as well. I have already told my Head, but wonder when I should hand in notice to allow time for them to replace me.

    My lump sum was in my bank account  on 31 Aug I was amazed! My first pension payment came on Sept 14th for first 2 weeks and full amount Oct 14th. They pay you on day before your birthday.

    Same experience as other replies..lump sum and pension arrived on the dates expected. All contact with TP team on the phone was very positive. Good luck!

    no permission needed far as I know it is up to you I took ARB 5 months early. I told the head verbally 4 terms in advance so succession could be planned (there was a vacancy at time and it affected who was appointed) then resigned on Jan 1st 2011

    kindofaverage:

    Yes !

     Your employer must give their consent for an application for early retirement. But they cannot withhold constent for more than 6 months from the date you request permission from them.

    I wonder if anyone has actually had their request for early retirement rejected?  In my case, the Head could hardly wait for me to leave his office before he started to look for a replacement.
