Millions of WASPI women are being urged not to fall for fake compensation payouts being offered online.
The Department for Work and Pensions has been urged to “recognise the case for urgency” in responding to the recommendations in the Parliamentary and Health Service Ombudsman’s final report on compensation for millions of women born in the 1950s affected by changes to their State Pension age.
She added that the UK Government is “looking very closely at the findings of the ombudsman and will respond as soon as is practicable”. The PHSO report published on March 21 stated that “Parliament must urgently identify a mechanism for providing that appropriate remedy” and recommended compensation equivalent to Level four on its banding scale, which is worth between £1,000 and £2,950.
Latest WASPI News In a written response to Steve Darling, the Liberal Democrat shadow work and pensions spokesperson on Tuesday, Ms Reynolds explained that as part of the DWP’s “work on the Ombudsman’s investigation and report” it had found that the PHSO’s estimate to compensate all women at level four - between around £3.5billion and £10.5bn - did not take administrative costs into account.
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.
