No Early Retirement for Those Between The Ages Of 39 And 47

Six million people in their early 40s will have to work a year longer, because of a change in the State Pension Age, the government has announced.

The rise in the pension age to 68 will now happen in 2039, rather than in 2046 as was originally proposed.

Those affected are currently between the ages of 39 and 47. The change will affect those born between 6 April 1970 and 5 April 1978.

The announcement was made by the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, David Gauke. This will apply to both men and women equally.
