WASPI campaigners brand Government's ruling out of compensation 'bizarre and unjustified'

^{Published on 2024-12-18 05:20:39 - MSN}

Work and Pensions Secretary Liz Kendall said the Government does not believe paying a flat rate to women at a cost of up to
10.5 billion would be a fair or proportionate use of taxpayers' money.

The article discusses the reaction of WASPI (Women Against State Pension Inequality) campaigners to the UK government's decision to rule out compensation for women affected by changes to the state pension age. The campaigners have described the government's stance as "bizarre and unjustified," particularly highlighting the lack of adequate notice given to women born in the 1950s about the increase in their pension age from 60 to 65, and then to 66. The Parliamentary and Health Service Ombudsman had previously recommended compensation, but the government, through Work and Pensions Secretary Mel Stride, has dismissed this, arguing that the changes were well-publicized and that compensation would not be appropriate. This decision has led to accusations of injustice and a lack of accountability from the government, with campaigners vowing to continue their fight for recognition and compensation.
