Hello

I read on an NHS website earlier on this year that
you will not be santioned in ESA Wrag group if you
are over 60. Do you know if this is true, or if it
will change after 3rd December?

Thank you

You are not required to attend WFIs or participate in Work Related Activity if you are over the Upper Age limit. For a woman this is their State Retirement Age, for a man it is the SRA for a woman born on the same day as you.

No WFIs or WRA, no sanctions

Yes, but the retirement age is being moved on a sliding scale,so currently it is not 60; for example for someone who's 60th birthday is today won't get their pension until July 2015.

Members can find their State Retirement Age by using the calculator on the following site
