Show Notes
Starting Monday, the state pension age increases from sixty-six to sixty-seven, with a corresponding rise in monthly payments. Those born between April and May 1960 will have to wait an extra month. The change affects younger workers too, who may have to work into their seventies. Charities warn of a disproportionate impact on poorer health zones. The full pension amount requires thirty-five years of national insurance contributions, with the new flat rate set at two hundred forty-one pounds thirty pence weekly. The government is considering a further increase to sixty-eight, but life expectancy fluctuations post-pandemic are prompting a review. Universal credit support remains available until qualification.
