UNITED KINGDOM, AUG 1 – The UK government plans to raise the State Pension age to 67 in 2026 for certain birth cohorts, aiming to save tens of billions of pounds amid rising life expectancy.
- Next year, the State Pension age will increase to 67 for people born between March 6, 1961 and April 5, 1977, under the Pensions Act 2014.
- On July 21, the Department for Work and Pensions launched its mandated pension age review, which considers life expectancy and other factors as required by the Pensions Act 2014.
- According to HM Revenue and Customs, over 10,000 payments worth £12.5 million have been made via the State Pension forecast tool since its launch, with 3.7 million users checked since last year.
- Analysis suggests lower-income and shorter-lived groups suffer most, as Tom Selby warns poorer households will feel the effect most and Andrew Tully emphasizes their vulnerability.
- Future projections of GDP and state pension-related expenditure suggest that state pension age should rise to age 69 over the period 2046-48, Baroness Neville-Rolfe said.
