And what was taken from #50sWomen in the form of 6 yrs #pension with no impact assessment or proper notification, & who never experienced #equality, was callous beyond compare
Inclusive #Mediation is what #CEDAWinLAW seeks on behalf of ALL #50sWomen
😞I have seen this coming for a while 2uncles that were up and dressed and talking dead within days.MP saying we shouldn't give life extending drugs, stolen state pension talk age 75 it's euthenasia 😱#NHS
My husband was recently blue lighted into hospital with heart problems. We were told by a doctor in A&E that as he was over 70 if his heart stopped they would not resuscitate as it would not be worth it. I was stunned. He has a pacemaker & defib so I said that would kick.
This could explain why life expectancy is going into reverse. Over 70s seen as potential bed-blockers. At least it removes one of the government's arguments for raising the SPA
And what if as a #50sWomen you paid up for missing years, then later found you had not been credited with the home responsibilities credits you were entitled to? ( Another example of mismanagement by #DWP?)
It is very difficult to get any payments back again
A no. of #50sWomen who have not got enough #NICs to get a full #pension, falling short by maybe 3 yrs, will have to pay #DWP £3000 to make up the years to get another £400/yr
A man – one of the 9.8m who was covered by #autocredits- would have to pay nothing
Inclusive #mediation
Is it fair that #50sWomen have to pay £1000s to plug gaps in NI record when men had up to 5yrs free NICs between 1983-2018? These women have been hit by 6 years pension increase AND a 5 yr hike in the NICs qualifying yrs #BackTo60#FullRestitution#CEDAWdavidhencke.com/2020/05/22/e…
Every change to #pensions legislation in recent years seems to have had a more negative impact on #women than on #men
Who do we suppose will be most negatively impacted by proposed cuts to the #triplelock or further increases in #StatePensionAge?
Will impact assessments be done?
Michael Mansfield KC argued in court that the changes to the #50sWomen's state pensions meant a “subclass – of women, not men, has been created by this discriminatory legislation”.
