Changes to state pension age
State pension age
There was a number of important changes to the qualifying age for State pensions. The qualifying age will rise to 67 in 2021 and 68 in 2028.
So:
- If you were born on or after 1 January 1955 the minimum qualifying State pension age will be 67.
- If you were born on or after 1 January 1961 the minimum qualifying State pension age will be 68.r
Therefore if your retirement age at your employment is 65 then you may have to budget for 2 years without the state pension being paid
