Quick Glance: Jeremy Hunt's View on £100k Income & Financial Realities
- Jeremy Hunt's perception of £100,000 as a high income contrasts with the national median of £35,000, placing it significantly above average.
- Even in affluent areas like Godalming and Ash, where Hunt is campaigning, the median income of £56,606 shifts the perspective on six-figure salaries.
- Hunt's remarks were deemed inappropriate by experts as data shows many households are struggling due to living costs, including those in higher income brackets.
- New tax and benefit regulations for higher incomes could lead to unexpected financial burdens, as the offer of free childcare for parents earning over £100,000 is limited.
Waspi: Women affected by state pension age rise should get compensation - ombudsman - BBC News
bbc.co.uk/news/live/uk-68624420
Quick Glance: Compensation Demanded for Women Affected by Pension Age Changes - Ombudsman
- In 1995, a law was passed setting out a timetable to gradually raise the retirement age for women to 65, aligning it with men.
- The coalition government decided in 2010 to accelerate this timetable, resulting in the new higher retirement age for women being brought forward to 2018.
- The ombudsman suggests that women in the sample cases should receive compensation ranging from £1,000 to £2,950, but the Department for Work and Pension (DWP) disagrees.
- Based on the report, the DWP strongly doubts providing a remedy and has asked Parliament to intervene in light of the significant impact of maladministration.
