A long-delayed report on compensation for 'WASPI women' regarding state pension age changes is expected, potentially causing a major spending issue for political parties. Martin Lewis highlights potential payouts for car finance mis-selling. The report recommends compensation for affected women, with the DWP facing criticism for its handling of pension age changes. Campaigners push for fair compensation, with estimates suggesting a bill of £3.5 billion or more. The PHSO recommends Level 4 compensation for affected women, sparking calls for a more substantial offer.
Millions of women born in the 1950s have been cheated out of their pensions. Today’s report is just the first step toward justice. WASPI women must have our continued support until they receive the full compensation they deserve. https://t.co/uthVm2u95l

"I will continue to stand up for #WASPI women in #Portsmouth & across the country." Thank you, @StephenMorganMP. It's a disgrace that @DWPgovuk has refused to accept #PHSO findings & we're counting on your support to secure a fair solution for #1950swomen. @WASPI_Campaign https://t.co/q7NSOz1j1D
Following the publication of the Ombudsman's report on the treatment of the waspi women I urged the Government to come forward as soon as possible with their response to it- they knew it was coming so they should have been ready! https://t.co/fbr2YO3ns3
Government stated minister will make statement to Commons on WASPI before recess. I suspect the minister will try to delay bringing forward a compensation scheme & minimise the amount of compensation. Delay is unacceptable 250,000 have already died. It must also be serious offer.

For women born in the 1950s who were impacted by the DWP's failure to inform them of retirement age changes, the PHSO's report is a vindication of the WASPI campaign for justice. Now Ministers have the report, they must urgently set out their next steps. https://t.co/sCHb2hAs59

Significant decision by the Ombudsman today regarding #WaspiWomen. Clear that the DWP has questions to answer. Hope they and the Govt respond positively to the recommendations. If there has been a failure to treat people fairly, it needs to be addressed.
🧵1/2: This shocking report makes it clear that the @GOVUK not only mistreated millions of working women whose retirement plans were demolished overnight but has then repeatedly refused to acknowledge, apologise or put things right. #WaspiWomen https://t.co/PkN8DyEd5H
For anyone interested, here's the full report that the WASPI women have been waiting for. For those still expecting compensation to include restitution of those lost years of pension, it's a disappointing read. 1/ https://t.co/Kzd6I21l4X

Leader of Commons said Minister will come to House with amendable motion on Monday on PHSO WASPI report. We need to check motion but it should say compensation should be set at least at Level 6, which is £10,000 or more or failing that MPs should seek to amend motion to say so.

WASPI women due compensation as DWP failed them. As ever, women’s rights are always hardest won. This is all due to the amazing WASPI women who never gave up! @WASPI_Campaign

My fear is the amount of compensation for WASPI women recommended by PHSO will be derisory in comparison with what these women have lost & endured because PHSO has a narrow remit.
