Won't this affect you @BristolBen @HPluckrose ?
State pension age increase brought forward -http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-40658774 …

If they can still work. Same with so-called 'dementia tax' which only charges you for own care if you have own house.
-
Which does seem fairer than charging young people who are struggling to afford a house for their families and may never manage it.
-
Especially considering that it is the older generations who are voting in the Tories anyway.
-
I know I'm saying this as a young person and the effect will be significantly delayed for me but,
-
They should raise the age to 70 sooner rather than later, and increase age for private pension from 55 to 60/65.

The proper solution to that is to bring house prices back to normal levels (simply by increasing the offer).
-
Yah. House prices, in London esp, are reaching stage where close to point that it's unaffordable for vast majority of UK residents. However
-
There are still many areas north of the (M25) border where prices are still below pre-2008. So prices are still very affordable there.
-
Its ridiculous. We were in Woodford - just inside London & afforded a house by moving 3 miles (2 tube stops) down the road to outside it.
-
Difference between affording a 2 bedroom upstairs flat or a 3 bedroom house is 3 miles.

Makes more sense for me to *drop* retirement age, and *enforce* to create jobs for young people with families..... It's a fine balance.
