On4bikdrawback to taking CPP retiretnent beoefits early -is that for each month short of your 65kbirth day, the CPP pension is reduced by one-half of one (0.5) per cent: On the other hand, if you feel tha at age 65 you can live comfortably on other sources of income, you can postpone receiving CPP benefits. Your CPP pension increases by 0.5 per cent for each month you don't collect the benefit after reaching age 65; However, the maximum benefit is 130 per cent at age 70, which is the deadline for postponement of CPP ayments. Whether or not you should take an E arly pension or postpone benefits clepends on your personal cir- c aumstance. Obviously, if you are fbreed to leave the work force before age, 65 nd have a limited income, youmay eel compelled to draw CPPbettefits as soon as possible. As a .general rule, however, you should try and arrange your financial' affairs so that you don't lave to draw dn the CPP until you reach the traditional retirement age of 65.
