WASPI campaign seeks compensation for women hit by unannounced pension age rises, nearing petition goal.

The WASPI campaign, advocating for compensation for women born in the 1950s whose state pension age was raised without proper notice, is gaining traction with over 85,000 signatures on a petition. The Parliamentary and Health Service Ombudsman recommends compensation between £1,000 and £2,950, while some MPs call for higher payments. The petition needs 100,000 signatures for a parliamentary debate, and WASPI urges the government to respond to the Ombudsman's report and establish a compensation scheme by March 2025.
