A Waspi campaigner has described the government’s state pension age U-turn as a ‘robbery’ that has pushed thousands of women into poverty.
In 2011, former office clerk Sally Hyde received a letter from the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) stating that her retirement age was rising by five years to 65.
Two years later, she received another letter saying it had risen again and she was now due to retire at 66 instead.
