Are you one of the 4 million 1950s Women Outraged By The Retirement Age Betrayal.

Are you one of the 4 million 1950s Women Outraged by the Retirement Age Betrayal?

Are you one of the women born in the 1950s extremely upset by the ruling in the High Court yesterday.

The ruling yesterday means that up to 4 million women will have to keep working after their pension age was moved from 60 to 66.

Many of my women friends have been on the brink of survival especially friends who were born in 1953 onwards. They have had taken from them serious sums of money between £37,000 to £50,000 any person would be concerned.

One friend has had to sell her home she is 64 and couldn’t get her pension. Under old rules, she would have qualified for her state pension in 2015 but she now has to wait till 2021. Even though she has a long term health problem she has to carry on working and she is not alone.  I have heard that another woman who can not afford food has resorted to shoplifting. The change has left so many women on the brink of poverty.

Protestors tearful after the ruling,

Protesters were tearful after the ruling when the High Court in London when judges rejected claims. That the policy was discriminatory based on age and added even if it was it could be justified.

It was claimed that the women were not given adequate notice of the changes and were not given enough time to prepare. But the judges dismissed this also. Even though the Government’s awareness campaign to warn about the rise was a joke.

The fight will go on.

Campaigners have vowed that the fight will go on. They say they will ask parliament to intervene. If they do pursue their legal challenge the case would go to the Court of Appeal and maybe the Supreme Court.

Women born in the 1950s believe the ruling was a complete travesty of justice and feel very let down.
