Had you planned to retire earlier than you are now able to?You are probably right, and clearly not suffering as some of these ladies are, some of us stand up and fight for our injustices, no matter how futile others think it might be.ViewDate:

Had you planned to retire earlier than you are now able to?Having worked since age 16 and paid full national insurance all my working life, I planned to retire at 60, I have not been kept informed of all the changes to the pension like many others. We have been promised fairness and equity and equality by our new prime minister, we have evidence that the pension pot has money available, and new evidence that the research carried out that bought about the pension changes is wrong, a new recent report that shoes that compensation would be £8b and mot the £30b the government says. We have been told that we cannot be treated as a special case. It's time the government acknowledged that we have paid in, it's not their money it's ours, and they have no right to withhold our hard earned cash. As members of parliament they are privileged, they get a large pension after being in government for only a few years, ( not fully paid NI for 40+ years) so they are ok, how fair is that, a few years and full pension for life regardless of age. All of us who are suffering or about to suffer due to the changes in pension have the ability to target our votes towards those MPs who refuse to climb down from their ivory towers to support us ... The I'm alright Jack has to stop. However thanks to those MPs who have pledged their support to continue use to help with our plight.
