The State Pension age in the UK is currently 66 for both men and women. This means that you can claim your State Pension when you reach the age of 66.
However, the State Pension age is rising gradually to 67 for everyone born after April 1960. This means that if you were born after this date, you'll need to wait until you are 67 to claim your State Pension.
Here's a breakdown of the State Pension age for different birth dates:
- Born before 6 April 1951: State Pension age is 65.
- Born between 6 April 1951 and 5 April 1955: State Pension age is 65 and 11 months.
- Born between 6 April 1955 and 5 April 1960: State Pension age is 66 and 2 months.
- Born on or after 6 April 1960: State Pension age is 67.
It's important to note that these are just the ages at which you can claim your State Pension. You don't have to claim it as soon as you reach the State Pension age. You can delay your claim and receive a larger pension later.
