Throughout the week we’ve been hearing from women who will be affected by what’s known as the state pension double whammy – they’re women born betweenApril 1952 and July 1953 for whom the pensionable age has twice gone up from the expected 60 and who won’t be eligible for the new flat rate pension of 144 pounds a week, to be introduced in 2017. To discuss the changes Jenni is joined by pensions and economics policy expert Dr Ros Altman and Dame Anne Begg, Chair of the Work and Pensions Committee.
