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.


Sorry, it was 65 to start with but they moved the goalposts again and I
forgot.

My official 'work' retirement age is 67, as per the contract I signed in
1978...
