I don't think anyone really agrees (Old Boy will no doubt surprise us here) with how the Conservative/Lib Dem coalition changed the rules in 2011 giving just three years notice to some of those affected.

Considering the original increase had a fifteen year lead-in period it isn't really adequate time for some of those preparing. That said, it isn't just women who are affected here men who prepared to retire at 65 in this decade found the increase from 65 to 66. While not being hit the same way as women these short notice changes are costing men thousands.
