So, if you are 65 in 2016 forget about drawing your State pension. You’ve got to wait another year. The previous Labour Government planned to bring in this change in 2024, giving people plenty of time to plan. Now it is to be brought forward eight years. This change is, for people approaching retirement, just around the corner. This may not mean a lot to those who have a good occupational pension or some other income stream. But for those who rely on the State it is further unwelcome news from the Coalition. People in manual occupations don’t live as long as those doing professional and managerial work. And there is evidence that British Pakistanis have poorer health and have a lower life expectancy than other ethnic groups. This is more bad news for people in Pendle. You can check out the local data.  Tags:
