    The government have said they "will provide further advice on the proposed transitional arrangements and provisions in due course.l

    Anything further?

    Is there a tapered/staggered introduction of this?  It could soon be 55-58!  

    It seems to be a cliff edge and for the sake of being born a minute later than another person, someone who is thinking about retirement with their peers has to wait two years (possibly three) 'because overnight happens'??  I'm so surprised that I haven't seen Martin talk more about this.  Have I got this wrong?

    Forgive me if I have but I am 55 weeks before 6 april 2028 and intend to access my private pension and retire.  My wife is 55, days after 6 april 2028 and intended the same - she/we now have to wait two tears (likely three) before she can do the same.  To all intents we are the same age but one is being unfairly discriminated against in the most maximum of ways.

    After logging on I’m getting the impression someone has just caught up on a very old news story?!

    Wasn't there a question about people in @Logan72's position as to whether they'd be unable to access their pensions in the period between 6 April and when they turn 57?  Has that been resolved?

    That poster has resurrected at least 6, possibly 7, old threads on the same subject. I've started clicking the Spam button.

    I asked a couple of days ago for all these threads on the same topic to be merged - it's pretty tedious getting the same poster asking the same thing, and risks masking when someone else raises a new, valid point or query.
    Googling on your question might have been both quicker and easier, if you're only after simple facts rather than opinions!

    Two posts in 2023 then a flurry of four on Saturday. Hasn’t been back to respond so probably not worth it.

    That's great - thank you!
