Tory DWP chief Mel Stride has announced a decision on accelerating the state pension age to 68 has been delayed - until after the next general election.
The state pension age is due to rise due to 68 from 2044, but reports earlier this year suggested ministers wanted to bring that forward - potentially as early as 2035.
The controversial move would have affected all those under the age of 54 and sparked a backlash from middle-aged voters - just weeks before the local elections.
