Thousands of people have signed an online petition calling for a State Pension age compensation scheme to be in place by March 21, 2025.
A new online petition created and posted by the Women Against State Pension Inequality campaign is calling on the UK Government to “fairly compensate” women born in the 1950s affected by changes to their State Pension age. The petition also wants the UK Government to “urgently respond” to the recommendations in the Parliamentary and Health Service Ombudsman’s final report, by March 21, 2015.
However, there has been no movement on a compensation plan despite repeated calls from across the House and campaign groups. Latest WASPI News The ‘Introduce a compensation scheme for WASPI women’ states: “We call on the Government to fairly compensate WASPI women affected by the increases to their State Pension age and the associated failings in DWP communications.
“The Ombudsman’s findings were backed by the cross-party Work and Pensions Select Committee, hundreds of MPs and, according to our polling, 68 per cent of the public. However, only the Government has the power to put this injustice right.”
