Hide AdMs Dickson said: “As a 50s born woman affected, I have been actively campaigning on this issue for the last four years.
”More than 6,000 woman are affected in East Dunbartonshire alone.
“These woman are facing a delay of up to six years and losing as much as £48,000 in lost state pension. They have contributed their entire lives and the majority were not notified of these changes in time to change their retirement plans.”
She added: “The Minister for Pensions and Financial Inclusion suggested we could ‘apply for apprenticeships’ in our 60s. For that reason, I am standing as an ‘apprentice MP.
“I will strive towards achieving a fair and just solution for those affected and for future generations.”
