answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 13/06/2016 answer text <p>The government has taken steps to smooth the equalisation of State Pension age between men and women in the Pensions Act 2011. The increase in State Pension age for women from age 63 to age 65 is phased in between April 2016 and December 2018.</p><p> </p><p>The timetable for equalising State Pension age at 65 for women and men and for the increase to 66 was accelerated by the Pensions Act 2011 following sharp increases in life expectancy projections. At that time a concession worth £1.1 billion was introduced by the government to limit the impact of the rising state pension age on those most affected. The concession capped the maximum delay that anyone would face in claiming their State Pension to 18 months rather than two years, relative to the previous timetable.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency North Swindon answering member printed Justin Tomlinson question first answered 13/06/2016 15:36:41 answering member 4105 label Biography information for Justin Tomlinson
