Can I choose to retire early and receive immediate pension benefits which are reduced to cover the cost of receiving the pension benefits before my normal scheme retirement age?

You are not able to choose to retire early with immediate pension benefits as there is no provision for this arrangement in the United Kingdom Atomic Energy Authority pension schemes. Early retirement benefits can only be granted with management approval.
