I just turned 60 so get my NHS pension now. I could delay it but wouldn't get anymore so I just let the money come in. If I could have left it in and have it grow a bit in value, like my other final salary pension, I would get more when I need it and wouldn't get money early while I am still earning. It may not give me more money in total but based on the other pension delaying 5 years would mean quite a bit more monthly income.

Maybe it is worth thinking about survival rates. At one time people didn't (generally) live for decades on a pension now they more than likely will do (until HMG push the pension age to 90!)
