The State Pension age is going up - and the Government plans to do it much earlier
The UK Government is carrying out a review on whether to change the rules on the State Pension age so that it goes up much earlier than planned. This follows an earlier report that said bringing forward a rise in the retirement age from 66 to 68 is "the fair thing to do."
Under the current legislation, the State Pension age would have increased to 68 between 2044 and 2046. But the Government had earlier said it intended to follow the recommendations in an independent review by John Cridland, former Director-General of the Confederation of British Industry (CBI).
