If you are due to receive State Pension soon, it is worth noting there are a number of benefits you can't claim after reaching State Pension age.
This regular payment of up to £185.15 per week for the Full new State Pension or £141.85 per week for the basic old State Pension (Category A or B) is available for those who have reached the Government’s eligible retirement age, which increased to 66 for both men and women in October 2020.
However, two further increases have been set out in legislation and are currently under review for 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, although recent reports suggest this may be brought forward to the late 2030s.
