For women born on or before 5 April 1950, State Pension age is 60.<br /><br />The State Pension age for women born on or after 6 April 1950 will increase gradually to 65 between 2010 and 2020.<br /><br />From 6 April 2020 the State Pension age will be 65 for both men and women.<br /><br />Changes from 2024<br /><br />Between 2024 and 2046 the State Pension age will increase for both men and women. This increase will be gradual, happening over two years every decade. The changes will mean that:<br /><br />State Pension age for men and women will increase from 65 to 66 between April 2024 and April 2026 <br />State Pension age for men and women will increase from 66 to 67 between April 2034 and April 2036 <br />State Pension age for men and women will increase from 67 to 68 between April 2044 and April 2046<br />The age you can claim your State Pension will be determined by when you were born.<br /><br />You can find out exactly when you will be able to claim your State Pension by using the State Pension age calculator.
