Compensation sought after WASPI report

Available for over a year

A long-awaited report on how women were affected by changes to their state pensions has been released. The campaign group Women Against State Pension Inequality (WASPI) says millions of women born in the 1950s suffered financially because they were not warned about the rise to their state pension age in line with men's. The Parliamentary and Health Service Ombudsman has spent five years looking into alleged failures at the Department for Work and Pensions over the way the changes were communicated. Sarah Lilley had a chat with Karen Sheldon, the WASPI co-ordinator in Suffolk.
