WASPICampaign group WASPI – Women Against State Pension Inequality – represents millions of women born in the 1950s whose retirement plans were suddenly dashed.
This was a result of the 2011 coalition government’s decision to raise the state pension age from 60 to 66.
Whilst the original 1995 legislation stated that the WASPI women should have received at least 10 years notice of the change, they instead received just 18 months.
Then, in 2022, then-leader of the opposition Kier Starmer called for “fair and fast” compensation for WASPI women.
