Parliament has been urged to intervene over the matter.
Parliament has been asked to hold the Department for Work and Pensions to account over the matter Thousands of women should be paid compensation after a failure to inform them that the state pension age had changed, a report has found. The Parliamentary and Health Service Ombudsman has asked Parliament to hold the Department for Work and Pensions to account over the matter. It has found the DWP failed to adequately inform thousands of women that the state pension age had changed.
The department must do the right thing and it must be held to account for failure to do so. ‘Complainants should not have to wait and see whether DWP will take action to rectify its failings. Given the significant concerns we have that it will fail to act on our findings and given the need to make things right for the affected women as soon as possible, we have proactively asked Parliament to intervene and hold the department to account.
