Exactly! Increasing the state pension age never made any sense. Ok yes, people may be living longer but not necessarily true for every single over 60+ yr old, but does that mean we are all fit and spritely?, no! So most of us can only work part time if at all, in which case we are not paying any more tax or NI (unless on some benefit) into the system despite the fact many of us have done so for 45 + years because we did work and helped fund the system, yet we are now penalised for it.

Hi all. Really sorry, but going to have to close this discussion. I hope you understand:
We understand this is a difficult topic, and many people are finding it challenging. To keep the community a safe space, we're encouraging all discussions on benefit changes to stay in one place. For that reason, we’ll be closing this discussion, but we’d love for you to join the main discussion thread here: Upcoming changes to benefits.
