Love you Chris..I was born in 1955, and my life has been one long round of caring for my mother, my husband's mother, my own children and then when they were old enough that I could at least go back to work, my husband fell ill with a brain tumour, and I cared for him for the next 15 years until he died. When that happened I was in my 50s by then, and I was too old to work.. Employers wouldn't employ me, as I had been out of the workplace for so long and because now my own health had gone downhill,as a result of all the caring I did over the decades. Then when it came to retire I was suddenly told I would have to remain on the pittance of income support for another 6 years..! The State Pension would have been more despite me not having worked most of my life..But hang on...! I did work, just a different type of work...Unpaid, no less..I saved the country thousands of pounds by looking after all these relatives and my reward...? Another 6 years of poverty. But the time I did receive my pension, I was too old and ill to enjoy it..😢

SERIOUS CRIME AGAINST WASPI...DEEP INSULT TALK OF 2K COMPENSATION WHEN 3.5 MILLION WOMEN LOST HOMES.50K EACH.FORCES WOMEN SAME GROUP DENIED PENSIONS FORCES ON AGEISM.

I should have got my pension in 2012 that’s when l was 60 and found out l wouldn’t get it for two more years because they changed the goal post in 2010 l was so mad because we were not told l told the pensions you have robbed me of two years Theresa Homer

I was born in 1960 and am also losing out

Same age group the dwp lost nearly all the details of former employers leaving again for right amount pension

Forces women x 3 also deeply affected by nil pension due to ageism

DISGRACEFUL SOMETHING THAT AFFECTS US ALL HAS A NEAR EMPTY HOUSE.

I have heart problems so I doubt if I will see my money back from this government

Don’t forget .. being able to contribute to a workplace pension wasn’t law for women up until their 40’s in some cases. Women who had children weren’t entitled to their NI stamp being automatically paid until 1977

Maybe there should be a trial of football with heading disallowed. Maybe the skills levels would increase.

True equality would have seen men's pension age reduced to 60.

What a brilliant man somebody understands our frustration I paid full stamp for 43 years. exactly the same as a man not married woman’s stamp. We also looked after elderly parents and grandparents. Shortly followed by collecting children from school and babysitting to allow a younger people to work to pay their mortgage. When did the government pay us for all these unpaid jobs, they owe us thousands of pounds in saved care costs. This is mean and cruel and to interpret the findings as you have to prove you have suffered financial hardship because of the change in rules especially those born June 53 and that’s because if you were born in dec 52 you waited an extra year if you were born six months later you had to wait 4.5 years this is not an Inca mental rise this leap in years waiting cost me 25k

Would this have happened to the men’s pensions?

Well said, this should never have been allowed to happen, we was taken on with the expectation of woman can access their state pension at 60 and men at 65, now the goalposts have been moved to 67 for both for our age group (1961) this can’t be right changing a contract to suite the government whenever they please. The retirement age for drawing state pension should be 60 for woman and 65 for men as it always was and compensation for anyone who has had to wait the additional 7 or 2 years should be paid immediately

You forgot my brother and I worked in the same mill and his wage was more than mine for doing the same job iWAS NOT informed that I wouldn’t get my pension at 60 and now it’s rumoured that we might get 1 and a half k is a bloody insult iv been done out of 30 k plus

You seem a nice guy, it’s ashame you will be losing your seat

Women should retire at 60 and Men 65 as it has always been. No benefits at all should be paid to or for illegal migrants. We should not send Tax Payers money abroad - we have our own issues to resolve in our own Country.

If men had to walk in 1950's womens footsteps. This would have been sorted. The injustice of low pay and juggling family care. For children and elderly parents.

My wife was ripped of by the injustice of the government

Where th hell is the government the place is empty what we paying them for

You left school much earlier than today.

I started working when 14.

I was born in1955 he is right about this.

By doing this the government saved £181billon said by the waspl chairwoman

They’d free up more jobs if they were allowed to retire when they were supposed too.

Typical tories couldn’t turn up ,cos it was money for them .

It was an easy cash grab that has devastated the lives of many women If it was truly about equality both men and women should have been allowed to retire at 63 years of age at no loss to the exchequer.

If we are equal and both have to retire at 66, we should also get same pension, shame on dwp, for dragging it out. While many of us die, while waiting

One day the will have a covid 19 vax damage compensation scheme. Its just one more in a long line of disgusting abuses of power by uk governments.

The Govt owes me £60.00 in back pension ... they say they we may get approx £1,500 in compensation ... they throw millions in every direction except to a group of women who have contributed and worked all their lives, raised children and looked after aged parents ... its an insult

Ah well. At least nobody's guna interrupt him!

Disgusting how many MPs just didnt turn up..when it was time for their wage increase the house was full !!!

...and why couldn't the men's pension age be brought down to 60, if the decision was based on equality!

Well said 😊

I would like to know what emoyment these women were doing as I myself had my pension age increased from 60 to 66 I was born in 1957. I received notification from tbe DWP in writing informing me. Other women I worked with were also aware of the increase in their pension age increase as some came under the phased in age increas. It must also be taken into account that they may not be entitled to a full state pension. The people who really missed out are those men and women who are on the old state pension which is lower even though they paid in for many years

Thank you for bringing this super important topic to the fore - and opening highlighting the ongoing, ever growing issues! As an ex chef - I am actually in the process of helping not one but TWO areas across the UK in setting up food solutions for those struggling with poverty & isolation! The food waste element is the key to a BIG change and quickly! SO sad it is not something already in place...

Pension age should have started at 62 years, for both men and women, Then gradaully increased over time to 66years. That would have been better for both , and to work longer if they so wished.

In the name of equality any pension compensation should be split, women get 2.5 years of pension and men get 2.5 years of extra pension so both sexes' retirement should be 62.5 years.

I had to wait a year longer to get my pension ? Where is my money

The scandalous fact of 270,000 Waspi women have already died without ever receiving one penny of the pension they worked for all of their lives, SO FAR!!! A public disgrace.

I married a soldier. In the 70s when i went for surgery i had my husbands name and rank on my hospital bracelet, not mine.

An additional 6 years

What gets me is although you work and your husband works when you both retire you don't get what the people who haven't worked why should they be intitled to any extra money

The truth is that TORIES have ruined the NHS and DWP IAN DUNCAN SMITH.and OSBORNE JEREMY HUNT destroyed the NHS ❤

Its absolutely right. Women were chattels Even in 2007 the DWP wrote to my estranged husband telling him, about me, and inciting our divorce when I could'nt access legal advice abroad.

Thank for your support. Older/old women are all but invisible in our society.

JUSTICE FOR SERVICE WOMEN DUE ? given retrospectively but not allowed by another hurdle on ageism..you can only get if over certain age yet per contract most fufilled then going contractual years.more than 8 yrs to get any portion thereof..this doubly affects many WASPI

Should be a criminal offense to keep changing up when we upgraded our eu citizens from flat to houses buggered off back home richer.now poland has put pension age to 60yrs for all.there is no explanation how an ex iron curtain country could do this when uk goes opposite way to disfavour a lifetime of service to ones country in tax input.
