BBC report says changes will affect folk in 2039 not 2037.

Work colleague is 67 in 2037 and direct gov SRP page says he will retire then.

Maybe the govt havent updated the direct gov website in line with this?

Or have the BBC got it wrong (surely not!)

Still a disgrace either way though.

BBC states will be phased in between 2037 and 2039, so not entirely sure?

Just did a test on Directgov. 2037 retirement dates = 67 years old at the moment

They probably havent updated it yet.

Time will tell…....

Just let me be smug for a little while that I was born in Feb 1970 - so it’s still 67 - for now!

They’ll need to get any change through Parliament -  so could be a bit early to update.
