Pension Credit qualifying age
The Pension Credit qualifying age is increasing to 65 alongside the increase in women’s State Pension age.
The State Pension age for both men and women will rise in the future. The Government has announced new proposals for increasing State Pension age to 66 by 2020, which would mean that women’s State Pension age will increase more quickly to 65 between April 2016 and November 2018.
