Wishaw MSP blasts UK Government's "betrayal" of Women Against State Pension Inequality (WASPI) campaigners

^{Published on 2024-12-18 07:21:03 - MSN}

Work & Pensions Secretary Liz Kendall announced the government would refuse the recommendation to award between
1,000 and
2,950 to women affected by the change in the state pension age.

The article discusses the criticism from Scottish MSP Clare Adamson towards the UK Government regarding the handling of the Women Against State Pension Inequality (WASPI) campaign. Adamson, representing the SNP, has accused the government of betraying women born in the 1950s by not adequately addressing the issues caused by changes to the state pension age. These changes, which were not communicated effectively, left many women unprepared for retirement, facing financial hardship. The WASPI campaign has been advocating for compensation for these women, and Adamson's comments highlight the ongoing frustration and sense of injustice felt by the campaigners. She emphasized the need for the government to acknowledge the impact of these pension age changes and to provide fair compensation, pointing out the government's failure to act despite previous recommendations for compensation.
