    Are you talking about a private pension? As there is no way to claim a State Pension early.

    Hello @Janie54, welcome to our community :) As Kimm87 mentions you cannot claim your state pension before your reach state pension age. However, there is Ill Health Retirement. With Ill Health Retirement you can claim personal or workplace pensions early.

    We have an advice page on it here:  Stopping work and ill health | Disability charity Scope UK

    As the advice page states though, you should be seeking expert advice before starting the process!
