UK news shows cannot ignore this forever!
The State Pension is an income paid by the government.
It is funded from National Insurance contributions and 35 years of qualifying years is needed for the full amount.
So why are women contributing up to 50 years& still no access to State Pension?
Professor Philip Alston: "The United Nations expert whose warning of deepening poverty in Britain was this week dismissed as “barely believable” by ministers, has said the government’s denial is as worrying as the poverty itself". Another report denied dismissed disappeared.
At age 65 (April) got to stage when I cannot work any more : MH and age related physical problems. 1 yr to go before SPA. Still fighting but losing the will to carry on being poor, no quality of life and losing everything I had. Over 40 years paid in contributions. Nobody listens

Broke, in debt, constant pain, home, everything gone at age 65. No chance of getting anything back. Isolated from family. Another year to wait for State Pension. 43+ years for what?

Over 5 yrs ago I should have retired. At 65 I have all the disadvantages of old age. For UC payments I have to complete a 24 page booklet giving the intimate details of problems associated with old age. No dignity independence or choice. No human rights.

Well my car went today. That's everything gone! Just left with a load of debt. SPA April 2021. 6 nightmare years. Over 43 years of NIC's paid. Yet Govt plans to take more in the future to cover cost of Covid instead of closing tax loopholes & tax havens. Revolution time people❗
I took your Pension money but what can you do? I had to find money to pay off the National debt & the pension pot was bursting with surplus funds. And don't forget you are paying previous generation's Pensions NOBODY wants to pay yours!

It's true. 1950's Women really have been given "sub-class" status. Few people recognise the injustice and consequences inflicted on millions of women due to SPA rises. If only people would put aside the economics and see what damage has been done to so many lives.

£4 bn dodgy PPE write off❌
Even wrote off £1.3 mill loan to his Mrs❌🔥
Yes, it was SIX YEARS added to my SPA not 18 months!!!!
Should have retired in 2015 aged 60, received small occupational Pension but had to wait until 2021 & apply for State Pension in 2021 age 66 having worked 49 years, 44 years' worth of Full National Insurance Contributions
As a 1950s born woman I feel as if I have fallen into a black hole of nothingness. Is it because subconsciously as a 64.11 yr old I am still regarded as an OAP minus any benefits? Talking about financial, medical & social disregard & ignorance here???

So how will that work then? if they sack all the nurses, doctors, teachers, firefighters, train workers. Are they going to then parachute foreign workers in ?
And surely it's the Government holding workers to ransom, not the other way around.
Is our Govt at war with us all!
Here's a thought. Get rid of the financial black hole that is the "DWP". Get rid of money wasting Assessments, Court case proceedings, ineffectual Jobcentres etc. Restore the Dept of Social Security and provide security for those who most need it. Provide Universal Basic Income
How would you feel having done the right thing: worked, paid taxes and NI contributions 40+yrs & have your savings ripped away from you when you were nearing retirement? £36_50K+ taken & told go on benefits, take up apprenticeships do whatever, to not be a burden on Society?
How would you feel if between £36-50 thousand pounds was taken from you & you were left penniless, no home & ill with the stress of it all. Too old to find a job paying enough to allow you to recoup any of that money. How would you cope?

I may come over a tad bitter. Most 1950s born women are. Those who were contracted to retire at 60 paid their dues but have to wait 6 years extra for their pensions. Some of whom are in poverty. Homes gone. If any had savings, that's gone. Forced to work until age 66.

In all seriousness how are Govt getting away with delaying pensions for women and all the other austerity measures? These are truly tortuous and violent acts against citizens
Managed until now, age 65 (April). Year to go TIL SPA. CAB helping re debts. Health/mental/physical issues knocked me off feet. Cap in hand for benefits now. Hate this Country & Govt evil policies. Nothing now. No home of my own, no money, no future
