The announcement has been branded a "day of shame" for the Labour government, who have been accused of turning their backs on pension-aged women.
Sir Keir Starmer, the Labour Party leader, has stated that compensating women affected by changes to the state pension age, known as WASPI (Women Against State Pension Inequality) women, would place a significant burden on taxpayers. He emphasized the need for a "fair and reasonable" solution but highlighted the financial implications of such compensation. The issue stems from the government's decision to equalize the state pension age for men and women, which was communicated poorly, leaving many women unaware that their retirement age had been increased. This has led to financial hardship for many, as they were not adequately prepared for the change. Starmer's comments come in response to a report by the Parliamentary and Health Service Ombudsman, which suggested compensation could be due, but he remains cautious about committing to any specific financial redress due to the potential cost to the public purse.
