From 6th April 2020, the State Pension age for women will be the same as it is for men, 65.

Women’s State Pension age will start to change gradually from 2010, but this will not affect women born on or before the 5th April 1950, who can still claim their State Pension at 60. Women born on or after 6 April 1955 will have a State Pension age of 65!

There is a State Pension Calculator on the Pension Service website if you want to calculate the exact date for you.

If you want to discuss this or any other matter, then please do not hesitate to contact us.
