The question is "Can he?".
And using both of these options we can say that he can't.
So basically, the question gets answered.

No current age is given. Also, no definition of how full pension benefits can be obtained. In addition, we have no idea if rules have changed at any given point.

There is no indication of full pension benefits in both the statements.
Suman said:   1 decade ago
