The current age for people receiving their state pension is when they become 66. If Scotland becomes an independent country the age for qualifying to receive the state pension is likely to rise as the Scottish Government will not be able to afford it. Nicola Sturgeon should telling us what the qualifying age for a state pension would be in an independent Scotland and what currency they will be paying the state pension.
