The State Pension will increase next year - from 66 to 67 - older people in the UK have been warned. By 2028, this will be fully implemented for men and women.

All those affected by changes to their State Pension age will receive a letter from the Department for Work and Pensions ( DWP ). The Pensions Act 2014 which raised the State Pension age also tweaked its phasing.

As a result, people born between March 6, 1961, and April 5, 1977, will be eligible to claim the State Pension once they turn 67. Labour Party Chancellor Rachel Reeves last month said a review which could see the age being increased even further is needed to ensure the system is “sustainable and affordable”.
