NEW:The government continues to increase the state pension age. Next year it’ll start going up from 66 to 67.
Some people choose to - or need to - work longer as a result. Does it run down their health? Or can work keep you young?

Today the government announced more detail on how they plan to tackle the large number of small pots in the UK pension system.
The reforms are due to be announced in the upcoming Pension Schemes bill this spring.
A few thoughts on why this matters and what was announced. 👇

State pension age starts rising again in April 2026. Most people in their early 60s know their state pension age, but a significant minority are incorrect or unaware.

NEW: One-in-six of those with a state pension age between 66 and 67 – around 130,000 people – either underestimate or do not know when they’ll be able to claim their state pension.

We’ve written two new reports on the decisions people face when drawing on private pension wealth in retirement & policy reforms that might help improve these decisions. Important to get this right as defined contribution pensions get more important & can now be accessed flexibly. Thread below:
