The DWP has launched the new version of its mid-life MOT website to help older workers with financial planning, health guidance and assessing what their skills mean for their careers and futures. The website, which includes links to check state pension forecasts and to calculate ideal retirement incomes, will be continually reviewed and will soon include content specific to England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. The mid-life MOT scheme was first launched in 2019 and was expanded earlier this year.
Minister for Employment Guy Opperman MP said: “We are all living longer and planning for later life is essential but knowing where to start can be daunting. Our digital Midlife MOT is open to everyone and easy to access, and will give people the tools to make informed decisions — on their personal finances, their health and on their careers. I would encourage older people in particular to invest the time to see exactly what it can do for them.”
