At this rate people will be working well into their 70's as the norm and dropping dead at their desks.

If they don't make other provision then yes that is their choice.

I wonder how many people we may have here who have already retired and just became sure of a two year delay in pension access age.

Well, they would have to have retired at 47 years old this year for it to affect them, so I'd imagine a fairly small subset. As long as they are 55 before 2028 they can still access their DC pot, depends on actual date of birth and when the cut-off comes in, presumably April 6th 2028?

I don't know anything about this. I haven't received a letter.

This has been known about since 2014, unless they were suffering from GRASPI syndrome.
