I am currently in receipt of my pension and am no longer working for Royal Mail. Does my supplement payment reduce when I reach the national retirement age (65) or does it continue at the same level going forward.
TIA

Re: Pension payments aged 65
The pension supplement, payable to section C members, stops when you reach state pension age.
To receive the state pension you currently have to be aged 66, but that is going to increase to 67 between 2026 and 2028.

Re: Pension payments aged 65
You would think there would be a more definitive date by now , such as April 2027.

Re: Pension payments aged 65
It's being phased in over 2 years in a very similar way to how it increased from 65 to 66 between 2018 and 2020.tractorboy2 wrote: ↑14 Nov 2025, 08:08You would think there would be a more definitive date by now , such as April 2027.
The timetable for the increase to 67 was announced in 2014 after a change of law in that year:

There's currently a state pension review happening which may see more changes made.
The increase to 68 is legislated for 2044-2046 but is widely expected to be brought forward into the 2030's, plus there may well be increases to 69 and beyond in the future too.
