According to a recent poll by the Standard Life Centre for the Future of Retirement, 13% of individuals aged 60 to 65 are skeptical about the state pension age rising from 66 to 67. This change will take effect over a two-year period starting 6 April 2026 and will be fully implemented by April 2028.
