The Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) suggests an imminent update for 1950s-born women impacted by State Pension age changes, but provides no specific timeframe. This announcement comes amid calls for action from WASPI (Women Against State Pension Inequality) campaigners, with Parliament due to recess soon.
The Department for Work and Pensions have hinted once again that an update for 1950s-born women affected by changes to their State Pension age will be made “soon” in Parliament , but no timeframe was given. If a statement is looming, there are just a few days left before Parliament rises for winter recess, and does not return until January 6, 2025.
She added: “We are working at pace on this issue. We hope to come to the House soon - if the hon. Gentleman will listen to my answer - to update him and the public on what we will do next.” However, in a post on social media shortly after DWP questions the WASPI campaign accused the DWP of “kicking the can down the road”.
However, in a written response to the proposal published on December 10, the DWP gave no specific timeframe on when a statement on the PHSO findings will be made, or if a compensation scheme will be announced.
