does anyone know what the rules are around retirement age and claiming a govt pension (ie age required etc)? Also, once retired may someone claim the pension AND then do contract work?
Hi Melanie
As far as I know the government pension is “means tested”, so earning another income from contract work would probably rule out getting the pension. Maybe one of our members has the means test level.

You get pension from Government for what you have contributed to the country in your life.
You can work after that.
