A warning has been issued to those who have yet to receive the state pension.
The retirement age is currently 66 and people typically need 35 qualifying years to claim the full new state pension, however, according to the Express, the age is set to rise to 67 between 2026 and 2028.
This has led some analysts predicting the age will increase further as the Government looks to curb its spending. At the moment, those on the full basic state pension gets £141.85 a week and typically need 30 qualifying years to receive the payments.
