<p>The Government published its review of State Pension age in July 2017. The report
can be viewed here: <a href="https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/630065/state-pension-age-review-final-report.pdf"
target="_blank">https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/630065/state-pension-age-review-final-report.pdf</a>.</p><p>The
next Government review of State Pension age will be completed within six years of
that report.</p><p>The Pensions Act 2014 requires the Government to regularly review
State Pension age and report to Parliament, to help to ensure the rules about State
Pension age are appropriate having regard to life expectancy and the costs of increasing
longevity are shared fairly between the generations, and provide greater clarity around
the plans for changing State Pension age in the future.</p><p> </p><p>The changes
to State Pension age became law following consultation and extensive debates in Parliament.
During the passage of the Pensions Act 2011, Parliament introduced limits to person’s
State Pension age rise, worth £1.1 billion, which reduced the proposed increase in
State Pension age for over 450,000 men and women, meaning that no woman will see her
pension age change by more than 18 months, relative to the original 1995 Act timetable.</p>
