Women affected by changes to the state pension age will not receive compensation.
The UK Government has rejected an ombudsman report after years of campaigning by Women Against State Pension Inequality (WASPI).
Work and pensions secretary Liz Kendall told the Commons: “These two facts: that most women knew the state pension age was increasing and that letters aren’t as significant as the Ombudsman says, as well as other reasons, have informed our conclusion that there should be no scheme of financial compensation to 1950s-born women, in response to the Ombudsman’s report.”
