Why is the State Pension age increasing?
The State Pension age is going up gradually over time because people are living longer and the government needs to make sure the State Pension remains affordable for the future. The law also requires the government to review the State Pension age regularly, looking at how long people are living, how the population is changing, and whether the system can be sustained in the long term.
