Labour have also promised not to raise the state pension age beyond 66, quite where all this money is going to come from seems to be irrelevant.
…
Whilst this was brought in in an unfair way, pension age has to be addressed because of demographics but do not expect anything to be fair from this government.
If they can take away the rights of over 1 million of their citizens living in the EU, don’t hold your breath.
Can you think of a more fair way?
Yes, don’t do it quickly so that people have time to adjust plans and don’t suddenly find themselves with less money than they had expected. And tell people affected about it!
They had a timetable, which was well publicised, and which was reluctantly accepted. Then they accelerated it without warning or telling people. I had already taken early retirement and was self employed with an NI exemption based on calculation for publicised plan. Had I known I wouldn’t have done that.
