Women who lost out of thousands in Waspi pensions controversy told they won't get government compensation

The article discusses the ongoing issue surrounding the Women Against State Pension Inequality (WASPI) campaign, where women born in the 1950s have been affected by changes to the state pension age. These women were not adequately informed about the increase in their pension age from 60 to 65, and later to 66, which has led to significant financial hardship for many. Despite a report by the Parliamentary and Health Service Ombudsman (PHSO) suggesting that compensation might be due, the UK government has indicated that it will not provide compensation to these women. This decision has left many feeling betrayed and financially disadvantaged, with some having lost out on thousands of pounds they expected to receive. The government's stance is that informing people of changes to pension age is not their responsibility, a position that has drawn criticism and disappointment from the affected women and their advocates.
