    Right so we increase the pension age to 70, what happens to those who cannot continue to do their job of work between the ages of 65 to 70, do they just go on the dole, for in some cases the Company they work for may not have alternative employment for them.

    Public Transport is one such industry; Drivers of Trains, buses and I suspect pilots of planes have to have medicals every year from age 65. Five years to the age of 70 is a long time in medical terms as you get older and I would think a good number will not get through.

    Surly if they the age of retirement is raised the Government will also have to bring in some sort of back up for those who cannot go on for medical reasons.

    I still think carrying on past 65 should be voluntary for the employee but in some way compulsory for the Company they work for unless as I have said there are medical reasons involved. At present a Company does not have to agree to you carrying on and often do not.
