Context
Following the Parliamentary and Health Service Ombudsman's report on women’s state pension age, concerns remain about compensation for affected women.
People are disillusioned with politics due to lack of change. The Tories refused compensation for WASPI women, and our Government has not improved the situation. Do you realise that if we do not provide promised changes, a far-right Government could take power?
We are committed to delivering on our manifesto promises. We have accepted the ombudsman's findings of maladministration, apologised for delays, and are working with the ombudsman to prevent similar issues in the future. Compensation is not appropriate as 90% were aware of changes; nobody lost out financially.
