Details

The Pensions Act 2014 requires the government to review State Pension age every 6 years. This report follows the first such review. It explains the government’s plans for changes to the State Pension age from 2028.

The review is informed by 2 reports published in March 2017:

• the Government Actuary’s report on how State Pension age timetables might need to change based on life expectancy projections
• an independent report by John Cridland CBE which also considered wider factors associated with changes in State Pension age

Any changes to the State Pension age will need to be approved by Parliament.
