Closed Lost Year of Women - Pensions 1952-1953

Closed on

Are you a woman born between 6 April 1952 and 5 April 1953? If so, you are going to be excluded from the new Single Tier Pension and not be entitled to the new upwards of £144 weekly pension.

You've already had to wait for your pension and now you're going to be trapped forever in the old scheme.

But your husbands, brothers, male friends and neighbours born during the same year, & women only two months younger WILL benefit form the new STP and so are likely to get a higher weekly pension!

So please sign this petition, then go to Facebook and "Like" 'The Lost Year of Women' page

This group should be:
~Included in the Single Tier Pension Scheme, or
~Have their retirment age returned to age 60, or
~Have a graduated scheme, or
~Defer their Pension Age to be included in the STP
