New figures from the ONS, which point to a slowing of life expectancy increases, are good news for defined benefit pensions schemes, according to AJ Bell.

New figures from the Office of National Statistics have revealed that retired households saw a bigger jump in disposable income than their non-retired counterparts.

Many pension savers believe they will be working either full or part time when they reach the age of 70.

ONS data released today showed a slowing of improvement to mortality rates – a development which could push back the increase of state retirement age, according to Royal London.
