Sarnia

Still completely ignores those women born before 1950.

Women born on or before 5 April 1950 weren't affected by the increase in state pension age.

Exactly [growstuff]

Signed but fully expect nothing to come of it.

I’ve also signed and feel the same angry

Signed👍 Not holding my breath but it’s good to keep the campaign alive.

Me too. I think we've (still!) got a long wait even after all these years, but the important thing is to keep pestering because governments insultingly adopt the default attitude "women will always put up with being rubbished or just die".
I suspect the current government would favour the latter.

Signed.

Signed. I creep in the top end of 1950's and expect nothing but fingers crossed. I'm still waiting for my first payment next year.

I've just signed, nothing ventured etc. Not that we want it to happen, but surely if someone did die, their executors could claim on their behalf?

Added my name.took 2 minutes.
Nothing ventured nothing gained and all that. 😊

It’s ignoring all women Sarnia.
They will wait for us all to die.
It doesn’t make any difference which party is in power either, they will all do the same thing.

HeavenLeigh Fri 22-Nov-24 11:46:03

I’m affected too, but I agree nothing will happen, I won’t hold my breath!

madalene Fri 22-Nov-24 11:42:03

I didn’t know that. I’m affected, but I don’t believe anything will happen, however many campaigns are launched. Governments of all colours simply wait for the people affected to die. Look at the dirty blood campaign and the Post Office campaign.
What’s happened?
Zilch!

A new WASPI petition has been launched.

I realise there are always lively debates on this subject, but for those of us most affected it is important to keep campaigning.
