Check your State Pension age
Make sure you know your State Pension age
North Norfolk District Council are supporting an important Government campaign to get people to check their State Pension age.
About the campaign
The campaign is encouraging everyone to use the free State Pension age calculator on GOV.UK to find out their State Pension age.
Why does it matter?
Between April 2026 and March 2028, the State Pension age will gradually increase from 66 to 67. People born on or after 6 April 1960 will be affected.
You can use the free State Pension age calculator on GOV.UK to find out your exact State Pension age. All you need to do is provide your date of birth.
It is also important to know that your State Pension does not start automatically. The Pension Service will send a letter inviting you to apply around 4 months before you reach State Pension age.
How to check
Find out your State Pension age by using the State Pension age calculator on GOV.UK.
You can also use the Check your State Pension forecast tool to see how much you can get and if you can increase it, for example, by filling any gaps in your record.
