Calls have grown for a state pension age change - with the Department for Work and Pensions, or DWP , urged not to "kick reform into the long grass".

As it stands, the state pension age is 66 but is expected to rise to 67 in the near future. Reform is "not something to kick into the long grass", the DWP has been warned by experts.

Dr Suzy Morrissey from the Pensions Policy Institute, who is leading a reviw into the state pension age, spoke out recently. "This is in place in a number of other OECD jurisdictions. It's not something that's in place in the UK at this time, but I've been asked to look at that, so we'll be doing a bit of an examination of where that's being used overseas, and how that's working," she said.
