WASPI - Early day motion EDM

Silvertabby

Early reduced pension has been Frank Field's idea last year, and is a big favourite of WASPIVoice, despite it being quite a daft idea, as it would only really help those who have other income and would plunge those in need into lifelong poverty. Posted by colsten

Those without any other pension income almost certainly wouldn't be able to take a reduced State pension early if it would then have to be topped up to the means test limit (ie, the full single tier pension) at State pension age.

Would suit the GRASPIs, though, as the State pension is only 'pin money' for most of them.

Not looking good for the greedy WASPI's

They're still banging on about the (lack of) individual letters.

Funny old thing, but when I started to pay NI I didn't get a letter from DWP telling me that my State pension age would be 60. I found that out for myself by taking an interest in my own finances. Just as I did in 1995, when the first re-equalisation changes were widely publicised.
