State Retirement Pensions: Women

Asked by Clive JonesLiberal DemocratDepartment for Work and PensionsTabled Answered 19 December 2024UIN 20094

The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, with reference to the Parliamentary and Health Service Ombudsman's report entitled Women’s State Pension age: our findings on injustice and associated issues, published on 21 March 2024, if she will make it her policy to implement the recommendations of that report in full.

Answered by Emma Reynolds

Following careful consideration of the Parliamentary and Health Service Ombudsman’s report into how changes to the State Pension age were communicated, the Government has decided we will not be paying compensation. We have made our decision on the facts of the matter which we have set out in our detailed response and deposited in the House Library.
