answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 02/02/2024 answer text <p>The normal minimum pension age is the lowest age at which the majority of members can take benefits from a registered pension scheme without incurring tax charges, except in cases of ill-health. It will increase from age 55 to age 57 in April 2028.</p><p> </p><p>This change will not apply to members of the police, firefighters or armed forces public service schemes, nor to those whose scheme rules provide an unqualified right to take benefits before age 57. Members with these rights will have a protected pension age. Whether an individual has a protected pension age will depend on their pension scheme rules.</p><p> </p><p>Although the Government keeps all tax rules under review, there are no plans to make any changes to this increase in the normal minimum pension age.</p> answering member constituency Sevenoaks answering member printed Laura Trott question first answered 02/02/2024 11:32:24 answering member 4780 label Biography information for Laura Trott
