A new survey of more than 2,000 people suggests that the British public overwhelmingly backs compensation for 1950s-born women affected by State Pension age changes
Support for the Women Against State Pension Inequality campaign is soaring ahead of this week's debate and vote on State Pension age compensation. A recent survey of over 2,000 people indicates that the majority of the British public supports compensation for women born in the 1950s who were affected by changes to the State Pension age.
Furthermore, two-thirds of the public believe that the main political parties should commit to paying compensation in their manifestos if the issue remains unresolved before the next election. Angela Madden, Chair of Women Against State Pension Inequality, has issued a stark warning: "The public have put both main parties on notice. Unless they make a firm commitment to compensation, they will be dangerously out of step with public opinion."
Following a six-year probe, the Parliamentary and Health Service Ombudsman released its conclusive report on 21 March, which found that the Department for Work and Pensions did not sufficiently inform women about changes to the State Pension age, concluding that those affected should be compensated.
