Press Release

Response to state age changes

13 October 2011

Michelle Mitchell, Charity Director of Age UK said: “We welcome the changes that have been made, they have listened to our concerns and we appreciate that it is a significant financial commitment from the Government at a difficult time. This will give a much needed 6 month respite to all the women who would have had to work an extra two years.

“We would have liked the changes being made to have gone further. Having faced uncertainty twice already these women must not be affected by any further changes to their state pension age again without sufficient notice.”

“All of us at Age UK would like to thank the thousands of women that have helped our campaign.”
