DWP publishes call for evidence as part of third state pension age review

The DWP has published a call for evidence seeking views on the factors that the Government should consider in determining the future state pension age. The call for evidence closes on October 24, 2025.

As part of the third state pension age review, Dr Suzy Morrissey, who has been appointed by the DWP to prepare an independent report ahead of the review, seeks views and evidence based on:

• The merits of linking state pension age to life expectancy.
• The role of state pension age in managing the long-term sustainability of the state pension.
• The international experience of Automatic Adjustment Mechanisms for making decisions about the state pension age.

Dr Morrissey is keen to hear views from a broad range of organisations, experts and individuals, including those who have an interest in the wider social and economic impacts of an ageing society.
