Waspi women’s compensation bid rejected once again following government review | Politics News The government has reaffirmed its denial of the plea from women who asserted they were owed billions after the alteration of their state pension age. The Women Against State Pensions Inequality – Waspi – campaign has been campaigning vigorously, alleging that they were not adequately informed about the increase in the state pension age for women from 60 to 65 to align with men. After dismissing this claim in December 2024, the government initiated a review in November of last year to assess new evidence. The Waspi argument revolves around the assertion that the pension age change was implemented too hastily, leaving some women financially unprepared for the years when they could not claim their state pension. In 2024, the government declared that they would not provide compensation as most women were aware of the impending changes, before announcing the review in late 2025. This review focused on a specific claim regarding the communication of the decision. Work and Pensions Secretary Pat McFadden stated in the House of Commons that following the review, «the government has reached the same conclusion on compensation as…announced in December 2024.» He acknowledged the debate surrounding the increase in the state pension age and the decision made in 2011 to accelerate equalisation. However, Mr. McFadden clarified that the review was specifically about how the changes to the state pension age were communicated, not the policy decision-making process. He admitted that individual letters regarding the changes could have been sent earlier and expressed regret on behalf of the government for the delay in sending those letters. Campaigners are contemplating legal action in response to the government’s decision. Angela Madden, the chair of Waspi, criticized the government’s choice as a «disgraceful political decision» and highlighted the injustice faced by millions of women. She mentioned that Waspi is seeking legal advice, keeping all options open.
