    I feel like I’m missing something here. The law was changed in 1995, to come in to effect from 2010 onwards.

    How is 15 years not enough notice?

      Theres an extra detail that is often missed, in 2011 the roll out was accelerated by 4 years and there’s some evidence it may have taken in to 2014 to notify everyone affected so it’s possible you may have been expecting to get a pension in 2016 and with just over a year’s notice find it’s been moved to 2020.

      They also increased the age to 66 and now 67 for everyone.

      I have more sympathy for those but that’s a much smaller cohort than the 3M figure being reported.

          The report gives them some leeway, but it’s not exactly the slam dunk victory they’re claiming it is. I’m sure it’s annoying not to be informed by the DWP, but the fact is, they were informed before it happened.
