The Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) has been urged to establish a 'hardship fund for women affected by the change to the State Pension age' by Sir John Hayes
Conservative MP Sir John Hayes has urged the Department for Work and Pensions to think about setting up a "hardship fund for women affected by the change to the State Pension age".
The group known as WASPI women have been awaiting the Government's stance on cross-party demands for compensation since March. This follows the Parliamentary and Health Service Ombudsman 's final report issued on March 21, which found the DWP guilty of 'maladministration' for not adequately informing women about the increase in the State Pension age from 60 to 65, and then to 66.
This confidential meeting took place at Westminster earlier this month, where Ms Reynolds met with representatives from WASPI. She expressed her feelings about the reception they received: "We certainly felt listened to, Emma Reynolds is new in this job and she very much was listening, gathering information and understanding our position. She's certainly got the official information, she's read the reports and knows we appeared at the Work and Pensions Committee meeting earlier in May."
