Overview
- The Waspi campaign has filed a judicial review to challenge the UK Government's decision to reject compensation for women affected by state pension age changes.
- The Parliamentary Ombudsman found the Department for Work and Pensions guilty of maladministration for failing to properly notify women of the changes.
- The Government rejected the Ombudsman’s recommendation for compensation, citing taxpayer costs and claiming most women were aware of the changes by 2006.
- The campaign has raised over £150,000 through crowdfunding to fund its legal action, reflecting strong public support.
- Legal experts are divided on the case's potential success, with some noting the courts' reluctance to intervene in matters involving significant financial implications.
