Judicial Review Of Women's State Pension Age Raised To 66.

[dave50]

5th and 6th of June. Will the UK Gov be made to give back to right to retire at 60 to all those women who worked and paid their National Insurance yet now have their pension payout delayed until 66. Judicial review - media black out. We all know that the pension age for women born in the sixties has been raised. Did you know a campaign called "Back to 60 movement "has won the right to a Judicial Review and is taking the DWP to the High Court ? On the 5th and 6th June they will attempt to get the 3.9 million women justice over non consultation in raising the pensionable to 66 and above. Michael Mansfield QC will lead the case and the argument for the movement. However there does not appear to be any media coverage regarding this significant event. Why is this?

I had a look and there was a Judicial Review on the 5th and 6th June 2019 involving Backto60 so is this old news?

To be fair, if women get the right to retire on a State pension at 60, then so should the men receive the same.

I think the pension system needs a bigger overhaul than that though. It's a bit if a mess.

We are living longer now so I think it's fair that the SP should be paid later in our lives. My daughter is affected by this and she agrees. She's not happy about though even though she thinks it's right.

I agree with OG and LB.
