Confusing if I was born in 1950 I would have my state pension at 60. Born 1956 have to wait 6 more years until I am 66. Doesn't seem fair to me.

Life isn't fair. Stop whining.

Actually you are waiting 12 more years.

2010 to 2022

As a woman I have always been grateful that it hasn't been suggested that we have to work longer than men!

The 60 year retirement always grated with me anyway - I thought it patronising and somehow demeaning. I fully supported the change when it came in back in 1993. There was such a fuss about it at the time, how anyone could have been unaware that it had happened is beyond me!

Oh well everyone has their own point of view, will just have to see what happens.

A lady born in 1972 would have had her state pension age as 60 when she started work. Not it will be 67. That is 7 years more.

WASPI women seem to have no problem with anyone born in the 60s onwards having to wait. As long as they don't have to.

So someone born 16 years after me will wait 1 year more. I was born 6 years after someone who gets it now.

Will just have to wait and see how the court interprets it. That's it now, no more comments from me.

They are not WASPI. By their very aims they are WASPE.

How do you calculate an increase from 60 to 67 as 1 year?

Both you and someone born 16 years later than started work when the female state pension age was 60. During their working life, the state pension increased. For you it was to 66. For the one born later it was 67.

So, why do you think it is unfair for you to have had a 6 year increase but not unfair for someone younger to have a 7 year increase?

Still WASPI: Women Advocating State Pension Inequality: different age or calculation for twins born on the same day based on their assigned gender, with that calculation changing with the gender when it changes.

The State Pension age for women was 60 years of age less than ten years ago.

Aren't you supposed to be some sort of financial adviser? God help your clients if that's typical of your knowledge of such basic pension facts.

You are wrong. The changes occurred in 1995. So, it ceased being 60 for the OP 24 years ago. Maybe you should improve your knowledge before saying such things.

Not so. The changes did not start until 15 years later. In 2010 the state pension age for a woman was still 60. Any woman retiring earlier than the 6th April 2010 would have done so aged 60 years. Even a woman retiring on 31st December 2010 would have been 60 years of age (& 8 months 6 days).
