State pension age could rise to 68 earlier costing millions in their 50s £10,000

The state pension age could be raised due to the “pretty hairy” state of the public finances, a Cabinet minister has admitted.

Work and Pensions Secretary Mel Stride said a decision will be made in the next six months on changing when people can retire.

At present, the state pension age is 66 for men and women and will rise to 67 by 2028, while the Government has previously said it will then go up again to 68 by 2039.
