Majority of these #50sWomen found out just 2 years before expected retirement age, giving no time to make alternative arrangements
The first direct mailing to #50sWomen was not until 2009 - ONE YEAR before raising SPA & FOURTEEN YEARS after the legislation was passed

DWP printed JUST 47,000 leaflets to inform SPA changes for c3.8m #50sWomen. Only sent to Financial Advisors of well-off women to enable personalised letters!
Precedent set? Fairness for the few. Them & Us? We never stood a chance & it was deliberate!

We found out in court that:
Ann Abrahams (2007 Parliamentary Ombuds) was deliberately not told that many #50sWomen WERE NOT aware of SPA rise
Because 1st Question would be "What are you proposing to do about it?" so Govt Dept kept QUIET! After all it was 'ONLY WOMEN'

The main state pension for current pensioners is nearly £40 per week less than the government’s own poverty threshold
Among 65-74 YO median private pension wealth (PPW) is £182,400 for men & just £25,000 for women meaning one-seventh of the PPW of men

@GuyOpperman told #50sWomen to 'Get an Apprenticeship'
@BorisJohnson to win an election said he'd look at this injustice
@RishiSunak knew #Women disproportionately affected during pandemic - lots of these women should have been retired & not put at risk

Women in the UK desperately need #CEDAWinLAW and a #WomensBillOfRights
It was ratified by Margaret Thatcher over 40 years ago Why we are still waiting?
Because it suits the MEN that make the laws
