Born between 6 April 1970 and 5 April 1978? Unlucky, you may now have to work a year longer.

The government has today announced that the predicted rise of the state pension age to 68 will now happen in 2037, 7 years earlier than was planned.

This affects about 6 million people born between 6 April 1970 and 5 April 1978.

We would not be at all surprised if the state pension age were to rise further in the future, could it become 70, or even 71,72,73………..

Food for thought.
