Pension Age raise

I am very confused re state pension.  It says I can take it in mid July 2027 but understand there will be another age increase. I was born 1960

Where does it says July 2027 - here?

I think it depends on when you were born in 1960, but if later, I believe the upcoming increase would take it to 2027 (increasing from 67 from 66) not further.

According to that if you were born on 28 December 1960 your SPA is in September 2027 so 66 and 3/4rs to go all Adrian Mole.

I am hoping 2027 is close enough they won't mess with any SPAs in that year.

There was a discussion on this earlier and the consensus was it would be difficult / unlikely for the SP age to change for anyone born before 1970 so those currently retiring before 2037.

People born in the 365 days on or after 6 April 1960 will get State Pension at 66 and a bit. The ‘bit’ goes up by a month for every full month later in 1960/1961 that they were born. So someone born on 6 April 1960 will retire aged 66 and 1 month. Their birthday is in April but they qualify for State Pension in May.

The next time there is a transitional year like this is when people born after 6 April 1978 start to reach 67.

The older I get the faster 2030 and my SP comes hurtling towards me!
