<p><strong> </strong></p><p>Following the Pensions Act 2011, the Department for Work
and Pensions (DWP) wrote to those directly affected by the legislation (people born
6 April 1953 to 5 April 1960) to inform them of the change to their State Pension
age. This involved mailing more than 5 million letters. Advertising campaigns have
been used more widely to encourage people to find out more about their State Pension
and the earliest they can claim it, by using online tools such as ‘Check your State
Pension’, the State Pension age calculator and information at gov.uk. These campaigns
supported the nationwide launch of the new State Pension and were not solely targeted
to women or a specific age group.</p>
