Two recent government reports have outlined the possibility of raising the age of eligibility for the state pension. In basic terms, that means millions of people may have to work for longer before they have a hope of retiring if they are reliant on a state pension. Analysis by the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) has indicated that those under the age of 30 may have to wait until they are 70 to receive their pension.
