UK Government Prepares Imminent Response on Waspi Pension Compensation

Prime Minister Keir Starmer indicates a forthcoming statement on compensation for women affected by state pension age changes.

  • Approximately 3 million women born in the 1950s are awaiting compensation after inadequate notice of state pension age changes.
  • The Parliamentary and Health Service Ombudsman recommended compensation between £1,000 and £2,950 per affected individual.
  • Prime Minister Keir Starmer has faced criticism for delaying action on the Ombudsman report published nine months ago.
  • Work and Pensions Secretary Liz Kendall is expected to announce the government's response soon.
  • The Waspi campaign claims the pension oversight has resulted in significant financial losses for many women.
