answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 07/09/2015 answer text <p /> <p>As independent analysis by the Institute for Fiscal Studies has shown, the rise in women’s State Pension age since 2010 has been accompanied by increases in employment rates for the women affected. Those who are unable to work because of health problems may be able to claim Employment and Support Allowance, whilst those who are unemployed may be able to receive Jobseeker's Allowance.</p><p> </p><p>All those affected by faster equalisation will reach State Pension age after the introduction of the new State Pension. The new State Pension will be more generous for many women who have historically done poorly under the current, two-tier system, largely as a result of lower average earnings and part-time working. Around 650,000 women reaching State Pension age in the first ten years will receive an average of £8 per week (in 2014/15 earnings terms) more due to the new State Pension valuation of their National Insurance record.</p> answering member constituency North Swindon answering member printed Justin Tomlinson question first answered 07/09/2015 15:10:35 answering member 4105 label Biography information for Justin Tomlinson

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 07/09/2015 answer text <p /> <p>The Minister has not met formally with campaign group representatives but is in frequent contact with relevant stakeholders across her portfolio.</p><p> </p><p>The Government will not be revisiting the State Pension age timetable for women affected by the 2011 Act. Government carried out extensive analysis of the impacts of bringing forward the rise to 66 when legislating for the change. The decision to bring forward a Government amendment to the timetable originally set out in the bill, to cap the maximum increase at 18 months rather than 2 years, was informed by this analysis.</p><p> </p><p>We are currently preparing for the first State Pension age review, which will conclude by May 2017. Alongside updated life expectancy projections, this review will be informed by an independent report, which will consider wider factors that should be taken into account when setting State Pension age, such as healthy life expectancy, variations in life expectancy between different groups, and wider economic issues.</p> answering member constituency North Swindon answering member printed Justin Tomlinson question first answered 07/09/2015 15:15:05 answering member 4105 label Biography information for Justin Tomlinson
