Subject: UK State Pension age hits 66 and set to rise further
Written By: Philip Eno on 10/06/20 at 7:09 am
The age at which most people start to receive the state pension has now officially hit 66 after steady rises in the qualifying age in recent years. Men and women born between 6 October, 1954, and 5 April, 1960, will start receiving their pension on their 66th birthday. For those born after that, there will be a phased increase in state pension age to 67, and eventually 68. It comes as the chancellor vowed the "triple lock" pledge is safe.

I am semi-retired now, but now I have to wait another for full retirement.

Over here the age for retirement is 67 but it is scheduled to rise in the future.

A few years ago when they first altered the pension age for women it was a topic for discussion at one Morris dancing practice. One of the women there just snuck under the cut off date and was able to retire as planned. As the youngest person there someone asked me what age I would be able to retire and get the state pension. At the time I joked that I probably wasn’t going to be able to retire before I turned 70. It’s not looking so much of joke any more

I am not making a fuss over the extra year for I have my free travel pass, but currently other world matters has stopped me using as often as I did before March this year.
