Now the State Pension age is rising to 67, what will you get and when?
The State Pension age is increasing to 67, meaning some individuals will need to wait a bit longer to claim. The positive aspect is that pension payments are also on the rise, and the rules are quite simple to understand ... The State Pension age is now rising to 67, meaning that individuals will receive their pension at a later age than before For many people, that means a later start to retirement income than planned. For anyone trying to make sense of the change, the main question is simple: when does it begin, and how much will be paid? The shift to 67 does not happen to everyone at once!It happens in stages, so pension eligibility depends on a person's date of birth. This means some people will experience a short delay, while others will feel the full effect of the increase in the retirement age later on. For those who qualify for the full State Pension, the weekly amount is £241.30, equivalent to £12,547.60 a year. People who reached pension age before April 2016 may instead receive the old basic State Pension, currently £184.90 a week, or £9,614.80 a year. These pension payments rise in line with the triple lock, so a state pension increase usually arrives each year. It is worth noting that the full amount is not automatically paid to everyone. In general, a person needs 35 qualifying years of National Insurance contributions to receive the full new State Pension, although those with gaps in their record may receive less. In practice, this makes pension eligibility just as important as the headline figure. The State Pension age matters because it shapes the timing | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
