 Fairness for Women's pensions
What a difference a day makes!

A woman who turns 60 on 6th April 2010 or later will get a full state pension with just 30 years' National Insurance contributions instead of the 39 (44 for men) needed now. That's good news for carers and women who have had breaks from full-time work.

But a woman who turns 60 on 5th April 2010 or earlier with the same 30 years National Insurance contributions will get a state pension of £67.23 - losing more than £20 a week. That reduced pension will cost her on average about £25,000 over the rest of her life.

It's unfair and unnecessary. There is a better way.
