Reader Question: Can I defer my State Pension even though I receive a work pension?

Get an answer to your financial question online Reader Question:

I will be 62 this May and have been entitled to my state pension since June 2010. Could I continue to defer my state pension but not my occupational pension when I go on to phased retirement?

My response:

Yes, your state pension has nothing to do with your occupational or personal pension arrangements.

I hope that helps.
