Support for sliding scale payments to 1950s women instead of total pension loss.

What the petition asks

Delayed pension payments to women born in 1950s seems unnecessarily harsh with little or no redress or power to have a say in this decision.
At 60 I work freelance p/t occasionally. This is enough work for me (everyone is different) but I am sure 60 year + women would not want to work full time if the main reason is to support a changed government policy. It would be sensible to have a sliding scale of pension rather than absolutely nothing causing hardship during the years 1950's women have to wait to receive their pension - that they have rightly paid into all their working lives and will now lose up to £30k per women.
