I was entitled to retire at 60/62 prior to the introduction of the new ‘MAS’ (mandatory age of separation). Will this change in ‘MAS’ affect the age that I can claim an early retirement from the fund and if so, how?

The new MAS will not affect the age that can be used to claim an early retirement benefit for those staff members who used to have a mandatory age of separation of 60/62 as they will retain their rights to avail of early retirement benefit at age 55 or between 55 and 60/62.
