The WASPI campaign explained and what thousands of women been campaigning for since 2015
Across the UK, millions of women who were born in the 1950s say they have been left out of pocket - many say they have been forced into poverty.
WASPI is not against equalisation, however, they do not accept the "unfair way the changes were implemented with inadequate or not notice."WASPI campaigners have said they will 'refuse to passively wait for an ombudsman decision' affecting the future of women affected by the pension age hike. In a statement released yesterday , the campaigning group said it will "press the Ombudsman at each stage" to complete the investigation as "rapid as possible".
Additionally, women are more likely to experience poverty in later life than men, because of the inequalities they face throughout their lives. The government is, yet again, failing older women by moving the goalposts without their knowledge, and then not remedying this injustice and leaving one in four women under the poverty line.WASPI members are challenging MPs for 'hiding behind' the outcome of the Ombudsman’sinvestigation.
WASPI is seeking compensation for WASPI women on a sliding scale of how badly they were affected, with the worst affected receiving in excess of £10,000. Any compensation scheme needs to be simple and quick to implement so that women, who have already waited years for a resolution, can at last achieve redress without further delay.Below is a list of answers to frequently asked questions by MPs.
