THE age at which millions of people can claim their state pension is starting to rise to 67 from Monday, when the monthly payments also go up reports the BBC.
The current state pension age is 66 but this will increase in stages over the next two years until it reaches 67.
The first people to feel the impact will be those born between 6 April and 5 May, 1960, who will have to wait an extra month before they are paid a pension.
The move is designed to reflect longer life expectancy with many younger people anticipating working into their 70s, although the government is still reviewing any further pension age rises.
