The UK government has kicked off its third State Pension age review, looking at whether the planned rise to 67 (2026‑2028) and 68 (2044‑2046) still makes sense. Led by Dr Suzy Morrissey, the review will weigh fresh life‑expectancy data and actuarial forecasts. Meanwhile, the weekly pension has jumped to £230.25 thanks to the triple‑lock guarantee, with another rise slated for 2026. Critics warn the higher age could strain low‑paid workers. The outcome could reshape retirement planning for millions.
