Women Against State Pension Inequality (WASPI)

Alex Cunningham, the shadow pensions minister, speaks to James Phillips about his new brief, auto-enrolment, and DB deficits

The MP for Stockton North, Alex Cunningham, has been appointed as shadow pensions minister.

Everyone should be offered the option to draw their state pension earlier than the default age at reduced cost, according to Aegon.

Women planning to retire this year are far more reliant on the state pension than their male counterparts according to Prudential research.

Allowing certain women to access their state pension early would have little or no benefit for those affected by the rise in age, according to Royal London's Steve Webb.

The Work and Pensions Select Committee has started a probe to explore the economic effects of allowing certain women to draw their state pension early.

Women affected by the increase in state pension age from 63 to 66 could access their savings early if they accept lower weekly payments, according to MPs.

The criticism of Ros Altmann by Women Against State Pension Inequality (WASPI) has been unfair according to PP research.
