The Ombudsman said the DWP should give compensation to all WASPI women
WASPI campaigners have issued a new update as Sir Keir Starmer's Labour Party has won the General Election .
After a six-year investigation, the Parliamentary Health Service Ombudsman concluded on March 21 that women born in the 1950s, affected by short notice changes to their State Pension age, should be compensated. The Ombudsman then asked Parliament to intervene and “act swiftly” to make sure a compensation scheme is established.
“This includes over 70 Liberal Democrat MPs who have been steadfast in their commitment to 1950’s-born women and we look forward to working with them to achieve justice. With this definitive majority, Labour has been given a strong mandate for delivering change.
