The Solent WASPI campaign has accused ministers of showing “utter contempt” towards women born in the 1950s after the Government again ruled out paying compensation over changes to the state pension age. The decision follows a reconsideration of the case after a new document came to light, but ministers have maintained their position that no compensation should be awarded. Not properly informed about the changesWomen Against State Pension Inequality (WASPI) represents women born in the 1950s who were affected by increases to the state pension age. The group has long called for compensation and formal recognition of what it describes as a serious injustice affecting millions of women across the UK.
