Recommendation 42

By the end of 2025, the Government must produce an impact assessment of the forthcoming increase in the State Pension age from 66 to 67. This should consider the cumulative impact of policies and set out the impact on pre-pensioner and pensioner poverty, by income decile and protected characteristic. It also should explain what measures the Government has considered to mitigate the impact, which it has accepted or rejected, and the reasons for this. (Recommendation, Paragraph 192)
