A postcode divide in state pension entitlement will see some people receive £67,000 more over a lifetime because of huge difference in life expectancies across the UK, a new report has claimed.

A study by the TUC showed that women in their late 40s living in East Dorset - which has the longest post-65 life expectancy for men and women - can expect to live nine years longer than a woman in Corby, the area with the shortest female post-65 life expectancy, when they retire.
