Last year the Government announced proposals to change the State Pension Age. This would see it rise to 68, over 2 years, starting in 2037. This is seven years earlier than originally planned.

• If you were born before 5 April 1970 this change won’t affect your State Pension Age.
• If you were born between 6 April 1970 and 5 April 1978 this change will likely have an effect on your State Pension Age.
• If you were born after 5 April 1978 your State Pension Age is currently 68.
