answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 24/04/2017 answer text <p>The Government will not be revisiting the State Pension age arrangements for women affected by the Pensions Act 1995 and Pensions Act 2011. These women will receive their State Pension either at the same age as men or earlier as we remove the current inequality. A concession was made prior to the passing of the 2011 Act which reduced the delay that anyone would experience in claiming their State Pension, relative to the previous timetable, to 18 months. This concession benefited almost a quarter of a million women, who would otherwise have experienced delays of up to two years. A similar number of men also benefited from a reduced increase, and the concession was worth £1.1 billion in total.</p> answering member constituency Watford answering member printed Richard Harrington question first answered 24/04/2017 12:13:11 answering member 4068 label Biography information for Lord Harrington of Watford
