Call for evidence description

The Pensions Act 2014 requires the government to review State Pension age at least every six years.

Dr Suzy Morrissey has been appointed by the Department for Work and Pensions Secretary of State to prepare an independent report ahead of the third review of State Pension age.

This independent report must explore the key factors government should consider in determining State Pension age for future decades. This includes:

  • the merits of linking State Pension age to life expectancy
  • the role of State Pension age in managing the long-term sustainability of the State Pension
  • the international experience of Automatic Adjustment Mechanisms for making decisions about State Pension age

This Call for Evidence seeks views and evidence on these areas.

Dr Suzy Morrissey is keen to hear views from a broad range of organisations, experts and individuals, including those who have an interest in the wider social and economic impacts of an ageing society.
