UK Government Pressured to Compensate Women Affected by State Pension Age Changes
Calls intensify for swift compensation after a report highlights failings in communicating state pension age increases to women born in the 1950s.
- The Parliamentary and Health Service Ombudsman (PHSO) report calls for compensation for women inadequately informed about state pension age changes, suggesting payouts between £1,000 and £2,950.
- Women Against State Pension Inequality (Waspi) campaigners demand a more substantial compensation package, citing parallels with other recent scandals.
- The Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) has not acknowledged its failings or compensated those affected, despite the ombudsman's recommendations.
- Supporters from various political parties urged to back a proper compensation package, with Waspi women awaiting the government's response before the general election.
- More than a quarter of a million women have died since the campaign began, highlighting the urgency for a resolution.
