Scottish pensioners already face one of the lowest state pensions in the developed world. But the Waspi women (Women against state pension inequality) have suffered pension injustice that means they were short-changed on even that.

If Scotland were an independent country, it could model its pension provision on a country like Denmark and offer a Wellbeing Pension, set at the level required to sustain a life of dignity, where every older person can afford the basic necessities of life. But only with the powers of independence can Scotland take control over this.
