State Retirement Pensions: Women
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, with reference to the report by the Parliamentary and Health Service Ombudsman entitled Women’s State Pension age: our findings on injustice and associated issues, published on 21 March 2024, HC 638, if she will establish a compensation scheme for affected women by 5 February 2025.
Answered by Emma Reynolds
We are reviewing the Ombudsman’s report along with the evidence provided during the investigation.
We need to consider the views that have been expressed on all sides including the points raised by representatives from the WASPI Campaign who I met recently, the first Government Minister to do so for 8 years.
Once this work has been undertaken, the Government will be in a position to outline its approach.
