The well-publicised case of the Waspi women (Women Against State Pension Inequality) is far more intriguing for what is not being said, than for that which is.
Not intending to come across as callous. As I have said, I sympathise with the case - my mother is one as a matter of interest. I'm merely trying to make the broader point that the feminist side of the equation wants to have its cake and eat it, and blame men when they put on weight!
There is no equivalent men's campaign to get recoup the billions they must be owed due to pension inequality, and the 4 years on average they don't see.
Please don't tar us all with the same brush Frank! The whole thing was handled very badly. Especially for women born 1953-54. My cohort of retirees.
I only found out that my SPA had been moved from 60 to 64.5 when I applied for a quote through my employers (quite a few years after the event)
I don't think it was too much of an ask for those affected by such a huge change to have been informed by letter - do you?
I was philosophical about it and thought oh well it's only fair if we want equality with the menfolk and carried on... only to be hit again by the 2011 changes when I was informed, by letter this time, that I'd have to wait an additional 18 months!!
Dear Ruby,

All the best.
