To not have realised that my pension age has gone up?

I'm 45, 46 this year. Checked online 2 years ago and my state pension age was 67, which I thought was bad enough, for some reason checked again today and it's gone up to 68!!

I knew that the govt were thinking of doing this but I have no recollection of being told it had actually happened. This affects my work pension which I now can't take until 68 too as it aligns to state pension age.

Annoyingly, my brother who is 2 years older can still retire at 67!
Have I missed some huge public announcement?

Yes it’s going up in 2040-something. They’re talking about bringing that forward too- mine is currently 67 but I’m planning for 68 just in case.

? It hasn't been changed yet. They're talking about it though.

Or have I missed something too.
