Will my early retirement pension, pre-pension or benefits continue if I start receiving state pension later?

Social security benefits continue until you are entitled to a state pension. However, early retirement pension or pre-pension may end earlier.

Transition from early retirement pension and pre-pension to state pension

Most existing early retirement and pre-pension schemes end on the first day of the month in which you turn 65. You will probably receive any supplementary pension to which you are entitled from that date. Your early retirement or pre-pension scheme will specify whether you are covered until you reach your new state pension age.

If that is not the case, you will temporarily have a lower income so you may be eligible for bridging benefit. Certain conditions apply.
