"Reviews to the state pension age are understandably very emotive. Whilst many people recognise the need to extend working lives for those that are able there has been repeated criticism of the speed in which previous changes have been introduced. Many people, particularly women, had made plans for their retirement and felt that they weren't notified of the changes early enough - leaving them with little to no time to make alternative plans to fund their retirement. We urge the pension's minister not to repeat past mistakes and promise that any changes will not affect those within ten years of the current expected retirement age to give both men and women a fair amount of time to properly plan."
