Women’s State Pension Age Ombudsman Update

Today the long-awaited Ombudsman report found WASPI 1950s women were affected by a failure of the Department for Work and Pensions to properly inform them and that parliament should set up a compensation scheme. Shockingly the DWP refuses to admit maladministration.

Now that the Ombudsman’s findings have been released, the government has no excuse. It must urgently fix this terrible wrong and apologise to all these women who have been affected.

I will continue to stand with campaigners for prompt and fair compensation.
