State pension

Rachel Dalton looks at who must do the most saving

The TUC figures showed that, thanks to differences in life expectancy across the country, the difference in the amount of state pension individuals receive can be as much as £67,000.

The Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) says its collection of pension reforms will be enough to provide an adequate retirement for majority of those currently at working age.

Trustees who continue to pay bridging pensions beyond age 65 to reflect the rise in state pension age (SPA) could be in breach of trust, according to PTL managing director Richard Butcher.

Nearly one third (32%) of public sector workers are considering returning to work post retirement due to financial concerns according to research from Teachers Assurance.

Increases in the state pension age (SPA) will widen the retirement income "postcode divide", according to the TUC.

Most of the 20 million workers paying into the State Second Pension (S2P) will be worse off under the single tier pension, says the Trades Union Congress (TUC).

One in six defined benefit (DB) sponsors are considering closing their schemes as one of a range of options when contracting out ends, according to Aon Hewitt.

Female life expectancy aged 65 varies by up to 5.7 years from region to region, research from the Office for National Statistics (ONS) finds.

Government policies aimed a reducing the liability of the state for supporting people in retirement could fail due to being managed across different departments, auditors suggest.
