Committee to hear evidence on rising state pension age impact on pre-pensioners
How will the State Pension age affect older people unable to work and what support should they receive?
The Work and Pensions Committee will hear from experts on the impacts of previous State Pension age increases, and the anticipated consequences of the next rise from 66 to 67, due to be phased in between 2026 and 2028. This will include how State Pension age increases disproportionately impact disadvantaged groups.
Meeting details
MPs will explore the challenges the Pensions Commission is likely to face in delivering a fair and sustainable pensions framework and the triple lock which increases the generosity of the State Pension over time.
They will also look at the case for taking steps to smooth the impact of the next State Pension age rise and what measures could realistically be put in place at this stage.
