    They've already announced the intention to raise the age to 57 in around 2028 and then keep it at 10 years below state pension age.

    Since saucer will be 55 in 2023, unless the government ramps up the raise in age five years earlier than planned, there should be little to worry about here?
  • Sorry, slightly tangential, but:
    DB lump sum ( which is calculated as 3 times my pensionable pay at 60)

    Do you mean 3x your pension at 60? This is a very different thing to 3x your pensionable pay at 60.
    I am a Technical Analyst at a third-party pension administration company. My job is to interpret rules and legislation and provide technical guidance, but I am not a lawyer or a qualified advisor of any kind and anything I say on these boards is my opinion only.
