Labour MSP tells UK Government 'it's not too late' to compensate Waspi women for pension changes

^{Published on 2025-01-08 10:00:46 - MSN}

Monica Lennon told the Record people remained "upset and angry" at the decision taken by Keir Starmer's Government.

The article discusses the ongoing issue of the WASPI (Women Against State Pension Inequality) campaign, where Labour MSP Monica Lennon has urged the UK Government to compensate women affected by changes to the state pension age. These changes, which saw the pension age for women rise from 60 to 65 and then to 66, were implemented with what many consider inadequate notice, leaving many women financially unprepared. The Parliamentary and Health Service Ombudsman has recommended compensation, but the government has yet to act on this. Lennon emphasized the urgency of addressing this injustice, pointing out that many of the affected women are now in their late 60s and 70s, facing financial hardship due to the sudden pension age increase. She called for the government to acknowledge the distress caused and to provide fair and fast compensation.
