I am not claiming to be an expert, but as i understand it, there have been instances where someone looses all their paperwork and is reissued after being asked how old they are. A shrewd individual may say an age that is greater than their actual age, in order to claim a state pension earlier than they would otherwise be entitled to. It has been said that this is the cause of the famous “blue zones” in Japan and Spain.

It is completely unproven despite a thorough investigation, but reaching the age of 122 is so unlikely that some people think that fraud is still the most likely explanation.
