re-address the leap in women's retirement age from 60 to 66

Closed 103 signatures

What the petition asks

I was finished from my job due to illness aged 51 and thought I would receive my state pension aged 60. Later the threshold was moved to 66 and I feel that I was not given enough forewarning so as to be able to adjust my finances for retirement. I feel that a jump of 6 years is too much.
