When can I claim?
State Pension age
This is the age at which you can claim your State Pension. State Pension age for women is changing, so it is important to find out if the changes will affect you.
Currently, the State Pension age is 65 for men and 60 for women. But this is going to change to 65 for everyone. The changes are being brought in gradually between 2010 and 2020.

Delaying your claim
If you put off claiming your State Pension from April 2005, you can earn either extra State Pension or a one-off taxable lump sum payment. Knowing your options helps you make better decisions when you reach State Pension age.
