It’s something which financial journalist Martin Lewis highlighted in the Martin Lewis Podcast in November last year.
The founder of Money Saving Expert said: “If you are aged 45 to 70, you should be checking now whether you are able to boost your state pension. Now, I say age 45 to 70, that’s because 45 I think is the youngest it could work with.”
He explained that “in reality”, it’s more likely to apply to people who are aged 55 to 70.
Urging people to “spread the word”, Mr Lewis explained the new state pension was introduced on April 6, 2016.
