    It will still be painful when it happens.

    10 years notice and a reminder every year though.

    It is a shame the title of the post couldn’t be changed. It would be interesting to hear from more people who are affected.
    There will be no Brexit dividend for Britain.

    Perfectly correct. So why such an uproar when with similar or longer notice retirement ages are changed.

    I believe you must address that question to WASPI. :whistle:

    I suspect that one point they would make is that recipients of the Adult Dependancy benefit were at least personally advised annually ( whether they read it or not) for 10 years before the change was going to be introduced.

    Another point may be that some women (born late1953/1954) didn't actually have 10 years notice of a change that put their state pension age back by up to 18 months.
    I had less than 6: years notice - hence my comment.

    FTR - I am not a WASPI supporter and never have been.

    Why not start a new thread with an appropriate title and ask for feedback from people who are affected by this withdrawal of benefits?

    Does anyone know how many people are affected?
