Evening Standard|January 24, 2023
TOO bad, 54 year olds. You may be retiring that bit later than you thought. The state pension age was going to go up from 66 to 67 in 2024 and to 68 by 2046, but it turns out that a review that the Treasury is terrifically keen on would like that brought forward, perhaps to 2035. The Chancellor could break the news in the March budget.
