Overview

• The High Court has set a two‑day judicial review for 9–10 December 2025 to examine the Government’s decision to reject compensation.
• WASPI will run a Westminster drop‑in to lobby MPs directly in place of its usual party‑conference outreach.
• The watchdog found the DWP committed maladministration over how increases to the state pension age were communicated and recommended £1,000–£2,950 in redress.
• Ministers have declined payouts, arguing many women already knew of the changes and citing cost concerns, leaving millions of 1950s‑born women without compensation.
• A survey of more than 5,000 WASPI women reports 72% worried about finances and 80% feeling overlooked by politicians, and any court victory would force reconsideration rather than directly trigger payments.
