According to PensionBee, individuals born between 6 April 1971 and 5 April 1973 are the most affected by this shift. From 6 April 2028, the minimum age for accessing defined contribution pensions will increase from 55 to 57. While those born on or before 5 April 1971 will be able to access their pensions under the current rules before the change, and those born after 5 April 1973 will naturally fall under the new minimum age of 57, the group born between these dates faces a “cliff edge” scenario.
