WASPI update as campaigners pass new milestone for compensation move

The article discusses the ongoing campaign by the Women Against State Pension Inequality (WASPI) group, which has recently passed a significant milestone in their push for compensation. WASPI campaigners are advocating for compensation due to the changes in the state pension age for women, which was increased from 60 to 65, and then to 66, without what they consider adequate notice. The Parliamentary and Health Service Ombudsman (PHSO) has been investigating the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) over these changes, and while the final report on compensation recommendations is still pending, the campaign has gained momentum with over 25,000 responses to the PHSO's consultation on its draft report.

The WASPI group is hopeful that the final report will recommend fair and fast compensation for the women impacted by these pension age adjustments.
