Will your pension support your retirement plans?the change in State Pension Age has meant I am not sure I have enough to retire on, lost job last year so have already lost an income of £12,000. have savings so don't qualify for JSA but signing on for credits, until savings eroded. I will never trust a politician againViewDate:

WASPI Women Against State Pension InequalityIt is not too late to join WASPI and get the help you may need to complain to the DWP about the lack of, or no notice of the drastic change to your SPA. The campaign is gathering momentum and support from all parties - the times they may be changing!!ViewDate:

Should the State Pension be means tested?As a WASPI I have had my State Pension put back twice, I now expect it on my 66 birthday. Imagine my blood pressure rise again again when I find the new pension from April 2016 means that even after 46 years contributions unless I contribute until April 2021 I will lose over £18 a week (this is also after the deduction for being contracted out). This new pension means you must continue working if you are able or pay voluntary contributions almost right up to your State Retirement Age!!! Please do a State Pension Forecast if you have taken early retirement man or womanViewDate:

Women's state pension ageWASPI Women Against State Pension Inequality The aim of the Waspi campaign is to seek transitional help to women born in the 1950’s, many of whom have had 6 years increase in their State Pension Age. The Department for Work and Pensions has confirmed that it did not write to women affected by the 1995 Act until 14 years later, in 2009. However, these letters were halted in 2011 because the Government was planning to make further increases. So only women born up to 5 April 1953 were written to in that round of letters. DWP started writing to women born after 6.4.53 in 2012 and I received my letter in 2015 aged 60yrs and 2mths that my SPA would be 2021 at age 66 years . There are approximately 2.6million women in the country affected by these reforms and many are suffering severe financial hardship. There is cross party support for the call for transitional arrangements and an All Party Parliamentary Group was established in May to consider options. Bindmans Solicitors have been instructed to take the DWP to court over Maladminsitraion, following a very successful Crowdfunding appeal I believe that the significant loss of income to women who were expecting their pensions at 60 will have an adverse effect on our local areas and the country as a whole. There will be less disposable income and there are many women having to sell their homes, claiming housing support and/or finding they need to claim ESA or JSA in their 60s to survive. Not all women are able to continue working due to ill health, caring responsibilities for parents and/or grandchildren, redundancy, etc. If you are affected by this most cruel injustice please visit www.waspi.co.uk and join your local group.ViewDate:
