IF IT STEMMED BACK FROM MARGARET THATCHER DAYS AND SHE STOPPED PAYING INTO THE TREASURY!WHY WERE THE BRITISH PUBLIC NOT TOLD+ WHY WERE NATIONAL INSURANCE CONRTIBUTIONS STILL TAKEN TO FINANCE PEOPLE’S PENSIONS,IT WAS SURELY ILLEGAL TO TAKE NATIONAL INSURANCE PAYMENTS FROM EVERYONE WITHOUT INFORMING THEM THEN,THEIR INTENTION OF WHAT THEY WERE PLANNING!!!

YES EVERYONE SIGNED TO PAY WHAT THEY CALLED NATIONAL INSURANCE DUES,WHEN YOU STARTED WORK,WOMEN TO RETIRE AT 60YEARS OF AGE+MEN AT 65YRS OF AGE,THIS GIVE THE YOUNGER PEOPLE WHO WERE LEAVING SCHOOL,THE CHANCE TO TAKE YOUR JOB OVER!!!

I am being discriminated against !
This change was supposed to be about bringing Pensions equal with Men & Women which is not so.It was an excuse to take earned pensions awayfrom Women.
Women born in 1952 have been placed on the Lower Rate and Men of exactly the same age have been placed on the Higher Rate approx £40 a week more for life plus future percentage increases

The government dosnt care about fifties born women. The government are no more than thieves . Not only being made to work 6 extra years no bus no cold weather payment . We cannot claim any benefits it it was all equal in this supposedly United Kingdom how come ppl in Scotland and Wales retire at 60 also receive a bus pass . The only thing we get is free prescriptions I believe this only because it cost millions to reprint prescription pads. Now we are expendable one moment over 60 is vulnerable should shield few hours later we should take care and go to work. The WHO state everyone over 60 is vulnerable to covid 19 but uk government say different WHO say the only reason must be one of economics no surprise there then ! Over 60 are then put into groups 6 and 7 despite many working in essential and frontline jobs coming into contact with hundreds of ppl. There can be no other group so penalised just for being born at the wrong time. I now do not trust anything the government say I have already cashed in one personal pension just to exist . I only got a small amount as the government kindly take 75% .if cashed in early! I feel tired exhausted drained I have worked since I was 15 only had 5 years with my daughter then I had to get a job as my ex husband lost his job . My husband was abusive mentally and physically I stayed till my daughter was grown up still working . I am still working . I am being bullied at work now off on sick leave due back soon. I have just over a year still till I collect my pension. To add insult to injury you don’t get the pension on your birthday as it is paid one month in arrears so I you actually work 66 years plus one month. I don’t think I will ever collect my pension as ii work in retail lots of ppl are dying from or are ill with covid . I fear I will either die from covid or take my own life as I can’t cope with this life any more it’s just too hard there’s no help for women born in the 1950’s everything has an end date ! When I hear ppl moaning that they haven’t had their second covid jab or about how long they wait in the queue they should be thankful they are not born in the 1950’s we are the forgotten ppl who no one cares about we are the expendable era!
