Data shared with Sky News from WASPI found a third of women affected by the changes are in debt, with as many as 80% saying they suffered financial hardship by the delay in finding out the retirement age had changed.
"So I was all set up to retire, have a nice life, get my pension, be able to manage well, and then to get the letter to say no – 'you've not got to work one more year, you've got to work six more years till you're 66' – was terrible, absolutely terrible.""I had mental health problems and arthritis, you know really physically and mentally, I was really struggling, really struggling to work," she explains.
But campaigners from Women Against State Pension Injustice have long argued they were not given sufficient warning of the change, leaving millions with insufficient time to prepare or make other financial arrangements.Exclusive data shared with Sky News from WASPI found a third of women affected by the changes are in debt, with as many as 80% saying they suffered financial hardship by the delay in finding out the retirement age had changed.
Last year, the Parliamentary Ombudsman found the women should have been given at least 28 months' more notice. "Had the government done what they should have done and told us as soon as they knew about the law changing, then we would have all known about it well in advance and been able to make the right decisions."Pensions: Your questions answeredA Department for Work and Pensions spokesperson told Sky News:"We support millions of people every year and our priority is ensuring they get the help and support to which they are entitled.

Genetic Ancestry Inference from Cancer-Derived Molecular Data across Genomic and Transcriptomic PlatformsAbstractGenetic ancestry–oriented cancer research requires the ability to perform accurate and robust genetic ancestry inference from existing cancer-derived data, including whole-exome sequencing, transcriptome sequencing, and targeted gene panels, very often in the absence of matching cancer-free genomic data. Here we examined the feasibility and accuracy of computational inference of genetic ancestry relying exclusively on cancer-derived data. A data synthesis framework was developed to optimize and assess the performance of the ancestry inference for any given input cancer-derived molecular profile. In its core procedure, the ancestral background of the profiled patient is replaced with one of any number of individuals with known ancestry. The data synthesis framework is applicable to multiple profiling platforms, making it possible to assess the performance of inference specifically for a given molecular profile and separately for each continental-level ancestry; this ability extends to all ancestries, including those without statistically sufficient representation in the existing cancer data. The inference procedure was demonstrated to be accurate and robust in a wide range of sequencing depths. Testing of the approach in four representative cancer types and across three molecular profiling modalities showed that continental-level ancestry of patients can be inferred with high accuracy, as quantified by its agreement with the gold standard of deriving ancestry from matching cancer-free molecular data. This study demonstrates that vast amounts of existing cancer-derived molecular data are potentially amenable to ancestry-oriented studies of the disease without requiring matching cancer-free genomes or patient self-reported ancestry.Significance:. The development of a computational approach that enables accurate and robust ancestry inference from cancer-derived molecular profiles without matching cancer-free data provides a valuable methodology for genetic ances
