A nan claims she has lost out on £53,000 after her state pension age was raised without due warning.
Ann Hughes had expected to retire at 60 until a change in the state pension age meant she had to continue working to the age of 63 when ill health forced her to leave her job as a care worker. Ann, who had previously undergone treatment for breast cancer, claims her health problems were exacerbated by being forced to continue working beyond the age she expected to retire.
She is one of more than 3.5m women born in the 1950s who have lost up to six years in pension payments due to their retirement age rising from 60 to 66. Ann said she found out about the change from an advert in a newspaper after already planning for her retirement, Lancs Live reports.
