What WASPI 2018 is campaigning for

We are campaigning for the fair and fast payment of compensation to 1950s women for the injustice they have suffered due to maladministration by the Department for Work and Pensions in the communication of changes to their State Pension Age.

Some 3.6 million women are affected. You can see the number of 1950s women in each constituency below.

We have never asked for the State Pension Age to revert to 60.

Our ask

We call on the Government to agree fair and fast compensation for all women affected by the lack of notice regarding the State Pension age increases (1995 and 2011 Pensions Acts) to reflect their financial losses, the sustained damage to their mental health and well-being, and the additional impacts. We also call for the Government to act on the PHSO findings now to prevent any longer-term damage to WASPI women.

(Adopted 09.12.2021)

Any compensation should:

be simple to understand and administer without requiring affected individuals to make complex claims
not be subject to income tax
not be means-tested
not be taken into account in the calculation of means-tested benefits
