State pension changes: are you prepared?

The focus for this week’s episode is pensions ahead of changes to the state pension age, which is rising from 66 to 67. In a worst-case scenario, those turning 66 around this time next year face a delay of up to a year before they can claim the state pension. To examine the details and discuss how the state pension age will increase in future, Kyle is joined by Craig Rickman, personal finance editor at interactive investor. Other topics include the sustainablity of the state pension triple lock, and whether the state pension will exist in the future or potentially be means tested.
