State Pension Age – Women
Last updated on September 27th, 2020
For women born before 6 April 1950, their state pension age was their 60th birthday.
Anyone born after 6 April 1950 will be among those whose retirement age is above 60 – the State Pension Age increased gradually for women who were born on or before 5 April 1953. You can see these historical details on this page. These women were the ones that were most impacted by the change in state pension age and who took the government to court over the changes (but lost their case).
The next question to determine your retirement date is:
- Were you born in 1954?
If the answer is yes then you need to go to this page.
If the answer is no then that assumes you were born after 1954 and you need to go to this page.
