Conclusion (the committee's words)
We remain concerned about the impact of the mixed age couple rule. There are gaps in our understanding of its impact on the living standards and health of the 70,000 households affected and how this might change as the State Pension age rises to 67. (Conclusion, Paragraph 129)
