Details

The Pensions Act 2014 requires the government to review the State Pension age every 6 years.

As part of this review, the Government Actuary must prepare a report for the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions about State Pension age. The Government Actuary looks at whether the rules about pensionable age mean that, on average, a person who reaches pensionable age within a specified period can be expected to spend a specified proportion of their adult life in retirement.
