State pension age ‘to be hiked’ as millions of Britons will work longer | Personal Finance | Finance

One expert recently said the state pension age increase would have to be accelerated due to financial worries for the Government.

Steven Cameron, pensions director at Aegon, said: “The Government will shortly publish findings of its review into state pension age.

“There’s a strong likelihood that on affordability grounds, this will have to increase beyond age 67, earlier than currently planned.”

An acceleration of a state pension age hike could help to save the Government billions of pounds.
