I now have to wait until I'mm 66 before I get the state pension.

It's still 65 for men.

It is *currently* but by the time I reach 65/66 it will be 66 for me.
There is State Pension Age Calculator at:

http://www.thepensionservice.gov.uk/...calculator.asp

Anyone not getting to 65 before April 2024 (ie 47/48 or younger) should
try that page and see what "surprise" is in store. By 2046 the state
pension age will be 68.
