UK Labour government refuses to compensate WASPI women, citing cost and adequate prior notice.

The UK Labour government has decided against compensating the WASPI generation of women, who claim they were inadequately informed about changes to their state pension age. Despite an Ombudsman recommendation for payouts of up to £2,950, the government argues that 90% of affected women knew about the change and that compensation would cost around £10 billion. Instead, the government will focus on improving future communication about state pensions.
