answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 26/07/2017 answer text <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> answering member constituency Hexham answering member printed Guy Opperman question first answered 26/07/2017 11:41:48 answering member 4142 label Biography information for Guy Opperman
