Pension supplement query

Post by savo »

Hi

Took my deferred RM ( NRA 60 ) pension at age 55.

I know that the supplement is payable until state pension age - would that be age 65 as it used to be, or 66 years 7 months ( my retirement age under the new rules ) ?

Thanks

It's payable until an individuals state pension age. So unless it increases again, it'll be 66 and 7 months for you.
