Today, the Parliamentary and Health Service Ombudsman has published an investigation report on the communication of changes to state pension ages for women born in the 1950s. The issue stems from decisions made under the Pensions Act 1995 to equalise and raise the state pension age, as well as the coalition Government's Pensions Act 2011 which accelerated this process. In March last year, after a six-year investigation, the ombudsman published their final report, prompting the former Work and Pensions Secretary, Liz Kendall, to provide the government’s response to the House in December 2024. However, new evidence from a 2007 DWP evaluation of automatic pension forecast letters has surfaced during legal proceedings. Given this development, I have decided that we must retake the decision made last December and review all available evidence, including the newly discovered report, to ensure fairness and transparency. This process will be transparent and fair, though it should not be seen as an indication that financial redress is guaranteed. The work begins immediately, with a commitment to update the House on the final decision once concluded.
