SNP Westminster leader Stephen Flynn will present a bill in parliament on Tuesday which demands the Labour U-turns and pays out to women affected by the change in state pension age.
The SNP will attempt to force a vote in the House of Commons next week over compensation for Waspi women.
Flynn said: "Waspi women have been badly let down by the Labour Party, in particular, who have broken yet another election promise by refusing to offer any compensation despite previously saying they would. It's time to stop the broken promises and make good on their word". Flynn said: "The SNP will bring forward a bill in the House of Commons next week to ensure Waspi women finally get the financial compensation and justice they are entitled to, after years of being fobbed off by untrustworthy Tory and Labour governments.
"Just this week, every single party in the Scottish Parliament unanimously voted for an SNP government motion demanding the UK government provide compensation to Waspi women.
