The pace of State Pension age increases was hugely, and unfairly, accelerated by the Liberal Democrat and Conservative Coalition Government.
The Government is required to regularly review State Pension age under the Pensions Act 2014. The Government’s third State Pension age Review is underway and will assess the rules for State Pension age based on the latest life expectancy data and other evidence.
