For state pension, yes...but bus passes (scroll down a bit) are on a
sliding scale, following the female retirement age which is in the middle
of migration from 60 to 65.


Is female retirement age getting capped at 65 then? I Didn't think so.
They won't be giving me a bus pass or state pension until I'm 67.


There is no retirement age for males or females any more. It is
discriminatory to require employees to retire, unless there is a clearly
justifiable reason for setting a retirement age.

What is changing is the state pension age (SPA). At present, female SPA
is being increased to 65, to come in line with the male SPA in 2018,
after which they will both increase together.
