This paper sets out the Centre for Ageing Better’s initial views in response to the terms of reference of the Cridland Review of State Pension Age which the government announced on 1 March 2016.
We understand that the Review will be seeking to publish an interim report in the autumn ahead of a final report to the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions in time to allow government to consider the recommendations by May 2017. While there has been no formal call for evidence we hope this short briefing paper, which sets out some of the issues and existing evidence relevant to the Review’s considerations, will be useful both to the Review and others with an interest in the policy issues we face as more of us live longer.
