Hoping someone can help me out, have trawled through page after page and me head is done in. On DA, 62, in the Autumn I Qualify for a small pension from US at 62. If I draw down on the pension, how will it affect my DA or what is the formula for the means test. I am wondering is it worth taking it, or just leaving it until 67 if I don't gain anything. At 62, pension comes in around $400 per month,

Thanks in advance
