Although you can retire at any age, you can only get your State Pension when you reach State Pension age.

The earliest you can receive a company or personal pension is 55 - but this depends on your pension scheme rules. If you're retiring because of ill-health you may be able to take your benefits before this age.

If you have serious ill-health and your life expectancy is less than a year then you can retire at any age. You can take up to 100 per cent of your pension fund as a tax-free lump sum. If you're married or have a civil partner, up to 50 per cent of the pension fund may be retained by the scheme. This will be used to provide for a Survivor's pension.

Will your social security go up every year you keep working after 62 if you are already drawing social security?

If you are working you should not be claiming state benefits (apart form your state retirement pension) as to work and claim social security is fraud. If you mean will your pension increase if you are already drawing it and keep working then the answer is no. However, once you pass pension age you no longer have to pay the national insurance contributions (which contribute to your pension) if you keep working. If you defer taking your state pension and keep working, then from the date you could have taken your state pension you WILL get a pension increase of 10% for each year you defer taking it (or you can take the back pension as a lump sum instead).
