Comments

Remember that the best deal for the State Pension is to have it paid WEEKLY.
I seem to remember the default is Monthly.There will be no Brexit dividend for Britain.0 -
Women are having an accelerated hike to 65. Haven't you been watching the news? Look it up.

god whats all this moaning about waiting longer for women
why would any woman feel they have a right to their pension early over men?
that should have been stopped years ago0 -
Everyone(1) is seeing the date they can access their retirement benefits receding into the future. For example, I know a chap who had to wait another five years until age 55 to access his personal pension because he birth date was just one side of an arbitrary cutoff. He wasn't too happy!
(1) - OK, nearly everyone. Those in the public sector seem to have got off lightly and a relative of mine has just retired from a fairly lowly position at age 50.I am not a financial adviser and neither do I play one on television. I might occasionally give bad advice but at least it's free.
Like all religions, the Faith of the Invisible Pink Unicorns is based upon both logic and faith. We have faith that they are pink; we logically know that they are invisible because we can't see them.0 -

Pineapple, your link doesn't work (at least for me).
The move to paying state pension for women at age 65 (instead of 60) has been planned for many years and has been in the public domain for many years.
I reckon I was aware of this change (I'm 58 this year and will not get my state pension until age 63) at least 15 years ago, probably longer.
The media seem to have jumped on the bandwagon about the move to age 66 and seem to be reporting it as a massive change from age 60 to 66 for women, whereas anybody clued-up to their pension entitlement has been aware of the first change for a while.
For example, my sister is 46.
To read the media - shock! horror! Suddenly, her state pension age is 6 years later than she had anticipated.
Not true.
It's actually one year later than she should have anticipated.0 -

I did at once feel hard done by for having to wait one year five months to get my pension (60 in Sept) but I now realise I am one of the lucky ones. Six days would be a good kind of wait.0

Hold on, the rise to 65 for women was announced a decade-and-a-half ago. It's hardly unanticipated.Free the dunston one next time too.0
