Maggie, I am in the same position as you, but born December 1953. I now have to wait until March 2019 for mine. I have just looked at the Pension Act 1995 online, something I would never have been able to do in 1995, and yes Number6 is correct. I did not know this. I never received any information regarding my pension. It has only been in the last few years when I could check online to see what date I would start to receive it that I found out I had to wait much longer.
A male friend of mine, also born in 1953, gets his pension on his 65th birthday, I, however, have to wait until 4 months after mine

None of us knew it Mary
that is the issue
we where all kept in the dark about the contents of these Laws
the 1995 one and the 2011 one
If it was stated in the 1995 Law that we would retire later than the 1st original date, then why did they make and pass the 2011 law to change our dates of retirment?
and yes shocking, that born 3 months after me, that such is the speed of how this has been wheeled out, that you will have to wait an extra 11 months longer than me to get your pension
it is a disgrace
but again there is another post on this issue as you know
it was your post by the way in 2014 that got me to re-look at my retirement date age of retiring that following April 2015, so thank you for that post back then, as I like other women had no idea about the second changes that took place
Thank You
