Men and women, at short notice find they do not have enough years for Full new state pension. Women are worst affected, 1950’s born women already hit by up to 6 years increase in state pension age have no time to make up the extra years needed. Pension gender equalisation will not occur until at least 2054, according to Paul Lewis report.
