I am a Waspi and don’t get my pension until 66.

I'm a WASPI and had to wait for my pension too. I doubt there's any chance of compensation. sad

Poppyred I’m a Waspi and had to wait until I was 63 to get my pension which I expected at 60 and I do not receive a “much larger pension”.

I’m a WASPI as well - BUT - since 2016 we have a much larger pension than those who were able to take it at 60.

“With the greatest respect” a report, no matter how well investigated and written will get us the money we didn’t get. WASPI and others have worked hard on this, but I’ve never held on to any hope that there might be back payments of even a small amount.

Also Dr Scutt’s delivery to the parliamentary committee can be viewed on YouTube.

Anti Discrimination Commissioner, The Hon Dr Jocelynne Scutt, has just published her report into the impact of the state pension age increase on ‘50s born women. She has forensically analysed the ruling of the courts and found them to be ‘with the greatest respect’ (her words) wrong. Her findings show that there was discrimination on the grounds of age and gender against the group of women born in the 1950s.
