My experience of "responding with comments" to #PHSO regarding the derisory provisional offer of £1000 for #maladministration is that comments are ignored

⚡low paid
⚡self employed
⚡#men & #women in their 40s
⚡Part time workers below £10k threshold for autoenrolment
⚡carers
⚡mothers not claiming child benefit

Strange isn't it (or maybe not!) how many of the groups let down by #pensions policy contain significantly large numbers of #women?
Younger #women would do well to support #50sWomen, who have seen all these failings coming & are fighting on YOUR BEHALF to force Govt action!

Not least of which would be to carry out a proper #gendersensitive #impactassessment on any future changes in #pensions policy or implementation, which was denied to #50sWomen, & to begin to consider the ratified #CEDAW convention in any proposals

#InConclusion – Lack of notice meant that #50sWomen were unable to adequately plan for their retirement, subjected to great financial anxiety, left feeling frightened & ill-prepared for the future
#InConclusion – Financial anxiety has left some #50sWomen to self-harm & in the most extreme cases taking their own lives

In 1995 State Pension Age for #50sWomen was increased from 60 to 66 in one fell swoop
It was decided that those women were NOT entitled to be informed of such a life-changing decision
Resulting in:
💥Retirement Annihilated
💥Stress / Illness
💥Heat Or Eat
💥No Dignity

Hansard Parliament - PENSIONS BILL - 10 uses of FAIR in the opening paragraphs. Apparently “The concept means different things to different people” 🤷🏼♀️ #50sWomen know to their cost government has no concept of fair. #BackTo60 #FullRestitution 1/7

“Government chose NOT to accept the amendment which required trustees to make an assessment of the extent to which a scheme is operating in a manner FAIR to all members; it has been REMOVED by Commons Amendment 1.” Could a case be denied on ‘no RIGHT to fairness?’ #BackTo60 2/7
When young I was denied joining my employer’s pension scheme because I was a woman. Other employers allowed only monthly paid or those earning over a certain amount to join. Women were generally weekly paid & unlikely to earn the same as men. #BackTo60 #FullRestitution #50sWomen
Later years I believed my firm had a pension scheme for male employees. I asked my then boss if it would be possible for me to have a pension to support a meagre SP. He said no. To comfort me he reminded me I reached SPA at 60, which wasn’t too bad!#BackTo60 #50sWomen #NoCrumbs
As a mum I worked part time in the 80s; earnings weren’t high; my employer’s pension contribution would’ve helped & if contributions were low initially, they would’ve increased in later years as I worked more. To challenge an employer was a no no, for fear of job loss. #BackTo60

@bbcquestiontime @IBlackfordSNP Thank you so much for speaking up for #50swomen #waspi. £271-400billion was taken out of the NI FUND as treasury stopped paying in their share around time of bank crash. More than enough to provide decent pensions #NHS & benefit funding.
