State pension age hits 66 and set to rise further - BBC NewsThe age at which most people start to receive the state pension has now officially hit 66 after steady rises in the qualifying age in recent years.
Men and women born between 6 October, 1954, and 5 April, 1960, will start receiving their pension on their 66th birthday.
For those born after that, there will be a phased increase in state pension age to 67, and eventually 68.
The full state pension for new recipients is worth £175.20 a week.
To receive the full amount, various criteria including 35 qualifying years of national insurance must be satisfied.
The age at which people receive the state pension has been increasing as people live longer, and the government has plans for the increase to 68 to be brought forward.
However, the increases have been controversial, particularly for women who have seen the most significant rise.
