RISHI Sunak has refused to commit to compensating the millions of women who lost out amid changes to the state pension age.The DWP has not acknowledged its failings, nor put things right for those affected, the ombudsman said as it asked Parliament to intervene and “act swiftly” to make sure a compensation scheme is established.The PSHO has suggested a compensation level of between £1000 and £2950, which could cost between £3.5 billion and £10.5bn in total.
The Prime Minister said: “I understand the strong feelings across the Chamber on this topic and the desire for urgency in addressing them. “Some women had one year’s notice of a three-month increase to their state pension age. Other women had 18-months’ notice of a six-year increase to their state pension age,” she said.We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories.
