"Those who enter retirement already in #poverty are highly likely to stay there"
This is exactly what successive govts have done to #50sWomen, by failing to provide ANY mitigation for the brutal #SPA changes
£1-3k suggested by #PHSO will not remedy this!
www.independentage.org/longer-term-...

And it wasn't JUST the changes to #SPA for #50sWomen
Significant other detrimental changes were made (see below)
All whilst taking £271bn from
#NationalInsuranceFund & targeting this already disadvantaged group to "save" govt £1/2trillion
Yet not a sausage in mitigation!

NOW they speak of mitigation!
#50sWomen suffered the biggest change in #StatePensionAge for 50 yrs, yet:
🤬No consultation
🤬No impact assessment
🤬No notification
🤬 NO MITIGATION
Where is the duty of care?

"It is worth noting that with the increases in the SPA that we have seen so far (from 60 to 66 for women and from 65 to 66 for men), successive policymakers have chosen not to put any mitigations in place"
No thought whatsoever given to impact on #50sWomen

"increasing the #SPA reduces average incomes of those affected, & this reduction is concentrated among those who were already out of paid work before state pension age. Increases in the SPA therefore increase income poverty rates"
Many #50sWomen know this
