STATE PENSION

There is definitely a problem when it comes to getting justice. For a start, many comment columns (not this one) include comments from men who say "You wanted equality - you've got it so you can't complain."

If the government had stuck to bringing in the changes slowly and kept us all informed, there would have been a bit more time, but not enough to sort things for people who had gaps in contributions, low paid work or been advised wrongly they would not need to contribute.

The last time the subject came up on BBC's question time, it was shut down very quickly.

Scots MP Mairi Black has been particularly active in trying to get something done, but it seems to be a difficult subject to bring to the fore - mainly, I think - because we are a generation who just get on with things, believing that our cause is just and right will win in the end.

And some of my fellow Waspis are so busy trying to keep down low paid jobs and caring for grandchildren and elderly relatives, taking on a whole uncaring system is the last thing they want to do.

Sadly, I fear some people will not survive the extra 6 years that was suddenly dumped on us without warning. We will never see the benefit the government has reaped from our impoverishment.
