New research from the Women Against State Pension Inequality (WASPI) campaign highlights the deep, ongoing impact of the State Pension age changes on women born in the 1950s
New research from the Women Against State Pension Inequality campaign highlights the deep, ongoing impact of the State Pension age changes on women born in the 1950s. WASPI’s findings suggest that a lack of notice and communication around the State Pension age changes affected retirement plans for millions of women.
WASPI explained that the impact of State Pension age changes still affects this cohort today, with one-in-four women born in the 1950s reporting they have struggled to buy food and basic essentials in the last six months. The latest findings come after the Parliamentary and Health Service Ombudsman was forced to row back on its Stage 2 report into the Department for Work and Pensions mistakes, after WASPI successfully argued it had not properly considered the full impact on affected women.
Top Money Stories Today MPs have rallied behind WASPI’s latest calls for fair and fast compensation from the UK Government, sharing how tens of thousands of women have had their lives “turned upside down” by the DWP’s failings. “The speedy completion of the Ombudsman’s report is vital, alongside a prompt response from the Government on how they will recognise the injustices that have been caused.”
Latest State Pension News Angela Madden, Chair of the Women Against State Pension Inequality campaign, said: “Thousands of 1950s-born women affected by State Pension age changes have lost major opportunities in their lives, whether it be in the workplace or in the family lives.
