PLANS to bring forward a rise in the state pension age by seven years have been branded a "fundamental injustice" to Scotland with new Labour leader Andy Burnham urged to "come clean" on the changes.

Millions of people will face an extra year in work under the plans to hike the state pension age to 68, seven years earlier than originally set out.
