The relentless pursuit by successive govts & "the establishment" to increase #StatePensionAge is wrong on so many counts, not least the apparent "Rape of the National Insurance Fund" @davidhencke
Everyone could learn a lot by looking at #50sWomen's latest petition update

Current #pensions policy is gendered
Even #StatePensions will not be equal until 2040, & private pensions NEVER if the current #pensionstaxrelief continues to benefit high earners who are mainly men
#50sWomen say
#women must be better represented in decision-making

Will the newly reformed #PensionsCommission take these gender differences into account when reviewing #StatePensionAge?
How will #pensionspolicy be amended to support greater #Equality, something that was never taken into account for #50sWomen?

Thanks!
A new report on the Gender Wealth Gap in UK illustrates that while this is 21%, the #GenderPayGap is 13%
The big difference stems largely from men's & women's #privatepensions
#50sWomen have been saying for years that #women have fewer opportunities to gain wealth

The monstrous #injustice done to #50sWomen must include the "Forced Borrowing" imposed by Govt
Between 2010 & 2025, an est. £36–47bn in loans were taken out by #50sWomen, not to invest or build futures, but to SURVIVE
Excluding #EquityRelease!

Remember the case for #discrimination against #50sWomen has had no definitive determination made, as in spite of being granted an appeal on all grounds #SupremeCourt decided not to even hear the case
Any Bill based solely on the flawed #PHSO report does not represent #Justice

This recent report by #IFS only serves to emphasise how harshly #50sWomen were treated, with no mitigation in place despite the unprecedented & ill-communicated rise in #SPA of up to 6 yrs
This was #discrimination

And it wasn't JUST the changes to #SPA for #50sWomen
Significant other detrimental changes were made (see below)
All whilst taking £271bn from
#NationalInsuranceFund & targeting this already disadvantaged group to "save" govt £1/2trillion
Yet not a sausage in mitigation!

The similarities between grounds for #JudicialReview on #WinterFuelPayment & treatment of #50sWomen are striking
Who suffers most from both?
#OlderWomen, with many asset stripped #50sWomen now struggling on full SP £221/wk, no savings, & ineligible for #pensioncredit

The impact assessment needs to include consideration of the 2 tier threshold for #pensioncredit that leaves many already asset-stripped #50sWomen £3 over the limit & unable to claim when only receiving £221/wk

It is outrageous that over half of claims for #pensioncredit have been unsuccessful!
Could it be to do with the threshold being way below the #poverty line, & the unfair 2 tier threshold that prevents anyone on full new #StatePension from applying? Including many asset-stripped
