ESA award extended without assessment

My reassessment was deferred for two years in 2014. I am due my state pension in Mar 2018 which was changed twice meaning that I will be 64½ by the time I get it instead of 60. I am furious at being scammed, and the thought of being found "fit for work" at 62 is not an attractive prospect, nor is having to jump through hoops to get benefits at my age.

One can only hope that they leave those who are approaching state pension age alone. It would be the decent thing to do after swindling thousands out of their pensions. But this government are anything but decent. Just to know where we stand would be a great help, but it seems they like people to suffer.

indeed. it's a power thing if you ask me, they like the control it gives them leaving people hanging & afraid. Controllers, bullies, especially domestic abusers, do it all the time, - they like their victims to be constantly wondering 'will they hit me wont they hit me', it gives them a feeling of power & control.

Hope you make it through to retirement relatively unscathed by it all summertrain
