The article discusses the ongoing issue faced by the Women Against State Pension Inequality (WASPI) campaign, where women born in the 1950s have criticized the government's decision to deny them compensation for changes to the state pension age. These women argue that the increase in their pension age from 60 to 65, and then to 66, was not communicated effectively, leading to significant financial hardship. The Parliamentary and Health Service Ombudsman (PHSO) had previously ruled that the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) failed in its duty to inform these women adequately. Despite this, the government has not agreed to provide compensation, a decision WASPI campaigners describe as "bizarre and unjustified."
