The Ombudsman has previously recommended payouts of between £1,000 and £2,950 but as it stands, no compensation scheme has been set up, despite scammers claiming otherwise
A DWP minister has sent out a warning that there is no compensation scheme as it stands for WASPI women. Such women are fighting for payouts after changes to the state pension age hit them hard.
The PHSO published its report in March this year saying the women affected should get payouts of between £1,000 to £2,950 after the government increased the state pension age with insufficient notice. One group calling for compensation is the WASPI campaign group, who held a protest outside Parliament last week on Budget day.
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 WASPI group issued a similar warning this summer when a "deeply concerning" surge in fraudulent compensation claim forms surfaced online.
