And from Thisismoney:What we know for sure is this: all men and women under 57 will have to wait at least until 66 before they can retire. All Britons born after 6 April 1954 will have to wait until they're 66 from 2020.

Is this fact, the actual report says that the increase will be phased in between Dec 2018 and April 2020the Government will speed up the pace of State Pension Age equilisation for
women from April 2016 so that Women’s State Pension Age reaches 65 in November 2018.
The State Pension Age will then increase to 66 for both men and women from December
2018 to April 2020.'Just think for a moment what a prospect that is. A single market without barriers visible or invisible giving you direct and unhindered access to the purchasing power of over 300 million of the worlds wealthiest and most prosperous people' Margaret Thatcher0 -

The answer is, no one seems to f*cing know. This from the Pensions advisory serviceThis calculator will be updated when full details of the changes have been released by the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP). In the meantime, it reflects the changes introduced by the previous government.

Has anybody got the definitive answer to this yet? There are still conflicting reports all over the place. :mad::beer::D0

I refer you to my answer above, and suggest you review the Spending Review document in conjunction with the Chancellor's Speech (also published online) rather than relying on general media articles which are prone to misreporting.0 -

The media have obviously received a press release saying that people over 57 on April 6th will be unaffected, the Mail and some others have presumably interpreted this to mean that anyone under 57 on that date will have to wait until 66 for their pension, would seem a leap in logic.
I think what is more likely, and was the comment from the Telegraph, the operative word being affected and a phased increase say 2 month increase in retirement age every Quarter starting in Dec 2018 and finishing March April 2020.From the Telegraph:

Even more accurately, I think it should be that that anyone between the ages of 57 and (I think) 50 will be affected - those younger than that will already not have been due to claim state pension until age 66 even before yesterdays announcement (I'm 50, born February 1960 and until yesterdays announcement would have been able to get my state pension at the age of 65 years and 10 months, now increased to 66)0 -
They probably just listened to the speech. Hugheskevi got the announcement right in his earlier post here.What I don't understand why the Mail are so adamant, have they been privately briefed?
So long as it's both men and women doing that I'm happy with it.With men having to pay back the extra if they live too long..............0
