This means that people born between April 6, 1960 and March 5, 1961 will reach their state pension age at 66 years and a certain number of months.
For example, anyone born between May 6, 1960 to June 5, 1960 will reach state pension age at 66 years and two months.
In another example, anyone who is born between April 6, 1977 and May 5, 1977 will reach state pension age on May 6, 2044.
The state pension increases each year in line with the highest of average earnings, prices - as measured by inflation - and 2.5 percent.
This is known as the triple lock, but it's temporarily been suspended for 2022-23.
From October 6, 2020, the state pension age became 66 for men and women in the UK.
The Government re-evaluates the state retirement age at least once every five years.
A review in 2017 suggested that the phased increase to state pension age ought to be brought forward to between 2037 and 2039.
The next review is set to be completed by July 2023.
This will confirm the timetable to be followed for the planned increase to 68.
Various factors will be taken into account when reviewing the state pension age, such as life expectancy.
After a review is complete, the Government may then choose to bring forward changes to the state pension age.
Any proposals to do so would have to go through Parliament before becoming law.
