The Government announced last week that it had decided to delay the State Pension Age increase from 65 to 66 by 6 months for both men and women. The pension age for women will still increase to 65 by 2018, as planned, however, the increase to 66 for both sexes will be put back 6 months to September / October 2020. This announcement has been tabled as an amendment to the current Pensions Bill which is passing through parliament. The direct.gov.uk website has published a revised table showing the date that State Pension Age will be reached for the people most impacted by the changes – people born in 1953, 1954 and after:
| Date of Birth | Date State Pension Age Reached (Men and Women) |
