The Department for Work and Pensions is set to bring in a big state pension change for people with certain birth dates. From 2026, the State Pension age is set to begin its rise from 66 to 67.

There is then a further increase from 67 to 68 scheduled to take place between 2044 and 2046. The Pensions Act 2014 accelerated the increase in the State Pension age from 66 to 67 by eight years.

The Labour Party government also changed the phasing of the increase in State Pension age. Instead of reaching State Pension age on a specific date, people born between March 6, 1961, and April 5, 1977, will be eligible to claim the State Pension once they turn 67.
