Early Access to Your Pension in Ill-Health

In certain defined circumstances, pension benefits can be accessed before the standard retirement age where a member is permanently incapacitated and unable to continue in their occupation. The rules vary by pension type, and the process requires careful documentation and Revenue approval. If you or a family member is facing serious illness and needs to understand what pension options may be available, PPFS will provide a clear, compassionate assessment of the position and guide you through the process.
