Ex-Pensions Minister and pensions campaigner Baroness Ros Altmann has called on the Government to consider allowing early access to the State Pension for those who need it, saying it is an issue of "social justice."

Nearly half (47%) of 55 to 64-year-olds are unaware that deferring the State Pension can boost their retirement income significantly when they start to claim their pension benefits.

A Freedom of Information request submitted by Canada Life has revealed that over 14,000 people opted to stop receiving their State Pension in the 2018/19 tax year.

The Labour Party has pledged to spend £58bn compensating so-called WASPI women up to £31,000 each.
