State Pension for Married Women - BBC Article

[PurplePansy05]

Hi All

I am not directly affected, but I came across this article today and thought I'd share it on here in case you are affected or know anyone else that might be:

www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-56654665

Due to the relevant period this is likely to affect older women's pension entitlement, so it might be worth having a chat with your mums and nans to make sure they are not missing out on their pensions.

It appears there are thousands of women affected, yet the review is going to take 5 years.

Please share with those to whom this might be relevant. xx

Thank you for posting. We are going to look at my Mum's pension now as we think she has fallen into this group that has missed out. It's a good article

Good luck I thought it was worth posting on here as it's somehow not been publicised all that well!

MNHQ are contemplating a campaign www.mumsnet.com/Talk/_chat/4213749-Mumsnet-HQ-Find-the-5000

Oh there we are - clearly someone else read the same thing as me and thought this should be shouted about! Good!

I bet they won't be paying interest on all that backdated money.
