Fixed retirement age to be axed
BBC News 29 July 2010
full story containing much information about pensions
 

EMERGENCY BUDGET 22 JUNE 2010

"Pensioners will benefit from a number of other measures [in addition to the restored link to inflation].... The Chancellor promised to protect key benefits for older people, including winter fuel payments, free off-peak local bus travel, eye tests and prescriptions for those over the female pension age and free TV licenses for those aged over 75.

  ... the planned increase in the state pension age to 66 could start to come in as early as 2016 for me and 2020 for women.

  However, the Government is considering plans to abolish the statutory retirement age, which currently forces workers to retire at 65."

The Times, Wednesday 23 June 2010, Emergency Budget, p. 3
