When DWP State Pension age is set to rise as timetable review to be published this year

A review into the state pension age is set to be released in the coming months.

The state pension age dictates the earliest age someone can claim their state pension. The review into when it will rise in the future is set to be published by May 7, however an exact date for its publication is yet to be announced.

Currently, the state pension age for retirees is 66, but, this will rise to 67 between 2026 and 2028. An additional increase to 68 wasn't due to take place until between 2044 and 2046. Despite this, a review released in 2017 called for the increase to be brought forward between 2037 and 2039, the Mirror reports.
