State Pension Age – Men

Last updated on January 15th, 2018

When is my Retirement Age (Men)?

So you are trying to find out when your state pension age is and you have answered the first question to say that you are a man. (If this is not correct then go back to the original post here to start again). The reason for splitting off men and women is that up until November 2018 men and women retire at different ages.

Next question is this:

  • Were you born before 6 December 1953?

If the answer is yes then your state pension age will be on your 65th birthday.

If the answer is no, then your retirement age will be increased beyond age 65 and you need to go to this page which will guide you through to show your retirement age. Alternatively you can enter your year of birth in the search bar and you should be able to find out your retirement age from there as there are specific pages detailing the retirement ages of men and women depending on which year they were born.

This page is part of a series of questions for you to find out your retirement age – if you have come across it in a search and it is not the right page for you then you can go back to the beginning of the questionnaire by clicking here.
