The National Insurance Scheme has proudly supported your social security needs for 40 years. Times are changing and global prices are increasing. Therefore, we have had to make some fundamental changes to the NIS so we can continue to be your social security provider for generations to come.
The pensionable age will increase from 60 to 65 years over the period 2024 to 2029. Pensioners will continue to be eligible for a pension from age 60.
