CE scheme and state pension ?

chesterwoodman · 2017-05-30 10:52:34

was told that I could this morning but I dont know that its true. When I filled in the forms it said when are you going to retire ? I put in a date . A month later I get offered 52 weeks on a CE scheme ? Is there anyone out there who can confirm that I can work on a CE scheme and claim state pension ?
