Do you know your State Pension Age? 🤔

Between April 2026 and March 2028, the State Pension Age is set to rise. If you were born between 6 April 1960 and 5 March 1961, your State Pension Age could rise to a few months beyond your 66th birthday.

Around four months before you reach your State Pension Age, you should get a letter reminding you to apply for your pension.

It’s crucial that you know roughly when this letter will be sent out, so you can plan for your future! 🌟

Check your State Pension Age on the government website today - it’s super quick and easy: https://www.gov.uk/state-pension-age

💭Check your State Pension age❕

Why it matters ❔

The State Pension age is rising from 66 to 67 between April 2026 and March 2028. If you were born between 6 April 1960 and 5 March 1961, your State Pension age won't simply be 66 — it could be 66 plus a number of months.

Crucially, State Pension doesn't arrive automatically. People need to apply, and the Pension Service sends invitation letters around four months before someone reaches their State Pension age.

It’s important that everyone understands when they will receive their State Pension and how quick and easy it is to check - all they need to do is enter their date of birth at www.gov.uk/state-pension-age
