North East Waspi women slam 'betrayal' as Labour Government refuses compensation

^{Published on 2024-12-18 14:00:55 - MSN}

Labour announced on Tuesday that the Government would not be paying out compensation to millions of women born in the 1950s who were not properly informed about increases to their state pension age

The article discusses the disappointment felt by WASPI (Women Against State Pension Inequality) campaigners in the North East of England following the Labour government's decision not to offer compensation for the changes to the state pension age. These women, born in the 1950s, were affected by the increase in the state pension age from 60 to 65, and then to 66, which was not adequately communicated to them. The Labour Party, now in power, has decided against providing compensation, citing the need to prioritize other financial commitments. This decision has been met with accusations of betrayal from the campaigners, who argue that the lack of proper notification left many women in financial hardship. The article highlights the frustration and sense of injustice among the WASPI women, who feel their plight has been ignored despite previous promises and support from various political figures.
