Lawyers representing women affected by state pension age changes are preparing to formally challenge the government’s repeated refusal to offer compensation. The move comes after women impacted by the way changes to the state pension age were communicated were told for a second time in January that they would not receive financial redress.
Women Against State Pension Inequality (Waspi), a long-standing campaign group, confirmed that its legal team intends to highlight "legal errors" in the government's decision-making. They will issue a 14-day deadline for a response, with campaigners suggesting the dispute could escalate to the High Court.
