Eehm, not to be a pain, but first of all, you have different pensions ages for women and men in the UK? I find that kind of weird in the first place.

It goes back a long time.
An equality case was bought which of course resulted in adding 5 years to the womens retirement age to make all things equal.
But that wouldn't be fair on a woman who was 59 and was about to retire so they stretched the timeframe for implementation, but 5 years is a lot of change so you have to stretch it down to be fair to 55 year olds which isn't fair on 54 year olds so you have to stretch it and they have been argueing for two decades on how long to keep stretching.
