Pensions Minister Emma Reynolds gave the first indication of an update being made before Christmas.
Pensions Minister Emma Reynolds has said that WASPI women could see an update on State Pension age compensation “in the coming weeks” amid calls for a statement from the Department for Work and Pensions before Christmas. A report published in March by the Parliamentary and Health Service Ombudsman found that affected women born in the 1950s should have had more individual notice of changes to their State Pension age.
Responding to the Lib Dem work and pensions spokesperson, Pensions minister Emma Reynolds told the Commons: “The Ombudsman took six years to consider a range of complex cases, and we are looking at their complexity. I was the first Minister in six years to meet representatives of the WASPI campaign.
The Pensions Minister said: “As part of our work on the Ombudsman’s investigation and report, we have been considering the costs of setting up a compensation scheme. Latest WASPI News Ms Reynolds added: “This government is giving its full and proper consideration to all areas of the Ombudsman's report.Mr Darling had asked DWP if it had “undertaken financial modelling for a potential compensation scheme for issues raised” in the PHSO’s final report.
