With the recent confirmation by the Labour Party government, the state pension age is rising from 66 to 67 through a phased rollout. Upon reaching state pension age, individuals will no longer be eligible to claim certain benefits. These include Income-based Jobseeker’s Allowance (JSA), Income-related Employment and Support Allowance (ESA), Income Support, and Universal Credit.
