The cost of state pensions is climbing with people living longer and the UK having an aging population.
Currently over £175 billion annually, the cost is projected to reach nearly 8% of GDP within 50 years, up from 5.2% today.
If you are affected by changes to their state pension age, you will receive a letter from the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP).
But this is not the only change due to happen. 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.
