Women's state pension ageMy goodness stop feeling sorry for yourself, You made tour own choices .Life was hard for most people then.This has nothing to do with the state pension. I received my state pension at 60 and need pension credit to top me up ,this means regular assessments ,its what we have to do if we arn't wealthy .Please what has a job interview got to do with pensions at 60. Stop whingeingViewDate:

Women's state pension ageDo the ladies realize that to get the pension backdated 5 years a lot of things will be difficult to sort out. If they werenot working they will have been on benefits ,they cannot have both so th benefit may need to be paid back .If they were working and paying income tax then the pension will be taxable and need to be paid (backdated).I believe the only people to benefit from it is women that have been living with a husband and not worked for many years. Think of the hassle involved.Come on ladies ,it was unfair for men to wait for 65 ,a wrong has been righted .Dont forget the new pensioners receive £40 a week more than me and the older pensioners ,do you want to go back 5 years and lose the extra £40 ?We could kick off because this is unfair ,but it has been to the High Court and we have to accept that changes needed to be made .Think hard about what is best .
