So Very Many Years For WASPI Women

Sadly I do not think any WASPI will get back pay for their State Pension - it is just too costly to the Government (and I am one).

I am glad to see our State Forecasts show an increase for the wait we will have been forced to make.

I don’t think there was ever an intention to pay back pay, rather to award some financial compensation as recommended by someone or other ( the Ombudsman, perhaps?).
Either way, I won’t hold my breath.

I don’t think there will be compensation. We are getting more pension than the ones who retired at 60. Time to move on…..

Margs I too am a WASPI I try to follow any new info about this ,but when I start reading it just sort of goes over old news.

I am also sure I am owed the HRP ( I had big gaps on my NI years or so I was led to believe) I have been expecting a letter but as yet nothing. But what is strange is when I looked on my Gove. gateway account around 5 mnths ago I had quite a few "not full years" When I checked about a mnth ago I now only have 1 year that is not full. So I will be investigating this in the new year.

But yes going back to WASPI. they just keep delaying and delaying. Watch this space hmm

Well, when I look at the expensive debacle called HS2......I wonder if compensation really is THAT unfeasible.

Do you think - as I do - that successive administrations are simply sitting on their well-paid arses and complacently waiting for all the women affected to just die?
Thus, a massive saving in compensation.......
Leaves me so very angry.
