A date has been set for when the private pension age will rise by extra two years.
A phased increase in state pension age from 66 to 67 by 2028, and eventually 68, is already planned, but previously people with private pensions could cash in much earlier.
The Government set out two further increases for state pension in legislation: a gradual rise to 67 for those born on or after April 1960; and a gradual rise to 68 between 2044 and 2046 for those born on or after April 1977.
