General Discussion
In the same (overheard by me) conversation one of the women concerned stated that at 63 her husband could now claim pension credit. Well yes, so he might but that doesn't mean that it is at age 63 that all can do so because again who becomes eligible for what and when depends on date of birth and how that ties in with when women of the same date of birth reach their state pension age.
Hope the table below helps. And click on the link I've given below the table if you want more info.
