I'm 70. Should I retire or can I continue working?

18 April 2008

I will be 70 in May 2008. The Pensions and superannuation department has told me that they will start paying me my pension and lump sum, and will not accept my superannuation contributions after that date. I neither feel, nor look like 70. What should I do?

a) Have I to take retirement when I take my pension?

b) Am I allowed to continue working and, if so, how many hours and up until what age?

c) What is the best course of action open for me, particularly when I do not feel like stopping working?
