300,000 so cost anout £15,000 each ( 58 billion?)

In my view they have a valid claim.

3 x 15 = 45 so 58 cannot be correct

[Darius]

few understand how it works at the moment!

Fikked if I do, as I was opted out for a long time.

Obviously!

You did not opt out of the State Pension.
 
You were opted out of the additional state pension (SERPS) and only because your employer's pension guaranteed to the state that it would provide you at least the same or more than the state second pension would.

Good luck with that

I see that Labpurs manifesto has a pledge to recompense the WASPI’s . They are the women who were quickly changed from a state pension age of 60 to 66 or 67 . Born in the 50’s.

Yes and it's OK as McDonnell will find that sort of cash down the back of the sofa! 

As Albs has mentioned earlier, he makes no bones about the fact that he will borrow it.

Not my figures but maybe the difference is interest charge. Labour says they havent got the 58 billion but morally it should be paid.

Some of them will get up to £31,000. But for that to happen, Labour would have to win the election...........so don't hold your breath.

[Doctor Gollum]

Labour are socialist misanthrops... ergo everything is entitled (as long as someone else pays for it)

Ficking idiots as Stemo would say...

Oh....I think I'd say something a bit stronger than that. I might even break into Jaime territory.

Not 300,000 but over 3 million. Oops

That might be 3 million votes for Labour unless people vote for principle rather than financial gain. We are the former but  most people are the latter especially if struggling. Lot of folk on the poverty line

Quickly? Most had 20+ years notice. The changes were introduced in 1995 due to sex discrimination laws, and didn't actually start to come into effect until 2010. The WASPI women are simply money grabbers who buried their heads in the sand and pretended the law didn't apply to them. Then woke up 20 years later with faux indignation that they'd somehow been diddled.

If there was a problem, it was the way the increase from 65 to 66 and 67 was introduced in 2010. This *WAS* too fast and the timescale did affect some of the same people affected by the 1995 changes. However, no-one had their state pension date increased by more than 18 months over what it would have been as a result of the 1995 changes.

The WASPI people demanding the right to retire at 60 for all women born in the 1950's are being unreasonable. What about men born in the 1950's? Or anyone born on Jan 1st 1960?

I was in, out, shake it all about in the past. Don't know if that's made things better or worse, but cant change it now, so no use fretting.

Well I've heard you can buy years, but when I rang 'em they said that wouldn't apply to me 

It all changed on April 6th 2016. Long story short - providing you have at least 8 working years after April 6th 2016 in which you have/will pay NI, and you end up with 40 or more years, then you will qualify for the maximum new state pension amount - currently £168.60 per week.

The money paid into your 'opted out' fund will be in addition to this. For the vast majority of people 'contracting out' of SERPS has turned out to be a very, very good idea - admittedly only realised in hindsight.

Looks like his nationalisation plans are already in trouble. SSE and National grid have already opened offshore holding companies just in case Labour win. He hasn't thought this through has he ?

How on earth did they even get to Westminster? 

[Migv6 le Frog Fan]

Tribal loyalty and promising other peoples money to stupid selfish people. Same way they are hoping to get into govt.
