"It's very unfair to make older people go on the dole before they get their pension." #GE2020

Pension and retirement age has become a major GE2020 issue. In 2014 the Government increased the age you can start to receive a state pension from 65 to 66, in 2021 it will be 67 and in 2028 it will be 68. But some workers are caught short waiting a year or two until they receive the state pension. The government have promised to bridge the gap but where does this leave thousands of people reaching retirement. Henry McKean met voters reaching their golden years.
