Under Section 27 of the Pensions Act 2014, the Secretary of State has a statutory duty to periodically review whether the existing rules about State Pension age are appropriate.

To date, there have been two statutory Government reviews, one in 2017 and one in 2023.

The next review must be completed by March 2029.
