OAP, Last year my son spotted a small newspaper article about this and alerted his mother. There was no notification from HM Government as far as we know. Hopefully we now have her situation under control.

But both my state pension age and hers have been abated under the new rules; we both fall into the same dreaded age bracket.

Obviously, as a pilot, I can't continue to fly as single crew and must desist six years before I receive my state pension! Looks like I'll be relegated to collecting trolleys or shelf stacking at Tescos for six years. So much for being a professional... I don't expect to see any doctors or lawyers in this situation; they can keep their professional status for as long as they like.

Annoyingly, both my sister and my wife's can get their pension at the "old standard" age. because they are slightly older than we are.
