Jean Sharples letter, (Unfair to us women, readers' times, January 21), clearly shows how callous and cruel decisions can be if not thought through effectively.
I was born in 1954 and with short notice from the government told that I would have to wait five and a half years more for a pension without any form of compensation.
Whilst the government spends millions/billions on other projects; we as the minority, are left to get on without an income that we planned for.
Moving the pension age should not have been a problem if it had been done with longer notice and not in such a harsh manner.
Yes Jean there are many thousands of women who have been harshly treated!
Linda Dinnick.
