Details

The Pensions Act 2014 requires the government to periodically review State Pension age. This is the second review of the appropriateness of the rules about State Pension age.

The Pensions Act 2014 also requires the Secretary of State to commission two independent reports to inform the periodic State Pension age Review:

• the Government Actuary’s report is required to analyse future possible State Pension age timetables, calculated from the latest life expectancy projections and based on specified proportions of adult life that individuals in the future could spend in receipt of State Pension

• a report on wider factors relevant to setting State Pension age – Baroness Neville-Rolfe led this independent report on factors specified by the Secretary of State
