It may comfort you to know, however, that in spite of you think or say about me, it won't affect my opinion of you.

Eliza, you're relatively lucky. Mrs. Grumble was born at the end of '53 and she whill probably have to wait till she is 100 !.. I'm just wondering about sending a bill to the government for the lost pension. We will never vote Tory again.At least we have our bus passes at 60 and a lot ofother things are free in Scotland.

I'm afraid the pension nettle was one that someone sometime had to grasp, as we are all living too long thanks to our excellent health care system and there soon won't be enough people working to support us without them destituting themselves.Thank goodness the conservative party had the courage to grasp it in spite of the opprobium that it would bring but wasn't it ever thus, labour bring us to the brink of penuary buying votes with taxpayers cash, and then the conservatives are voted in to bring some sanity back to the nation's housekeeping and are hated for it.
The mind boggles at the fickle nature of electorates.

Re: Claim Your UK State Pension Early
Not fair IMO of those of us who had the rules changed after so many years though, would have been perfectly fair to have said from now on and named a date while people were still at school, leaving it so many of us have no time to make a slight bit of difference to our retirements was as I said every unfair.And don't quote sex equality because when I wanted that I had hoped men could also retire at 60 so they could enjoy a bit of retirement before death too.
What we have now despite people supposedly living longer is many people won't and will die at work. Waiting to see what they do when that starts happening - we had a heart attack last year and he is still spoken of in hushed tones as many of us thought he should have been retired a couple of years before he died at work.

Re: Claim Your UK State Pension Early
It was always something i found strange, that women who tend to live longer got a pension 5 years earlier than men.I had planned to retire from work this year with my mortgage paid. Life had other plans, my retirement age is still 65 in 2018, but i know i will never see it.
Would love a chance to get my mitts upon my pension pot, not going to happen.
