Some of the worst affected women only received a few months' notice of a six-year-delay to their state pension
A woman who was forced to rethink her retirement plans after the state pension age was increased says she fears she'll have to work until she's 70.
Sue left school at 16 and got a job in the civil service, before completing a degree and going on to become a teacher. She was always expecting to finish work at 60 and distinctly remembers catching a bus on her 40th birthday and thinking, 'I've got 20 years left.' "After finding out the state pension age had gone up I always planned to work longer because I did enjoy work but by the time I got to 62 the cancer drugs meant I just couldn't do it," Sue said.
"You plan your retirement and a lot of the women of my age didn't have proper careers," she added. "We weren't expected to have careers. We were expected to be at home looking after the kids.
