Women hit by the state pension age rise may have lost their Court of Appeal case against the government but they remain adamant they will not concede defeat.

Almost 4 million women were impacted by the controversial overhaul which saw the pension age increased from 60 to 66 for women born after March 1950 – with the United Nations warning the changes place them at increased risk of “poverty, homelessness and financial hardship”.

BackTo60, a campaign group calling for full restitution for women affected by the state pension age rise, lost its landmark High Court battle last October but appealed the ruling at the end of July.
