Secretary of State for Work and Pensions Mel Stride MP issued a statement following the publication of the PHSO’s report.
The Secretary of State for Work and Pensions issued a new statement on Thursday following the publication of the Parliamentary and Health Service Ombudsman’s final report into the way the Department for Work and Pensions communicated changes to the State Pension age for thousands of women born in the 1950s.
The Ombudsman’s report has suggested compensation at level four, ranging between £1,000 and £2,950, could be appropriate for each of those affected. “Compensating all women born in the 1950s at the level four range would involve spending between around £3.5 billion and £10.5 billion of public funds, though we understand not all of them will have suffered injustice.”
“The government has always been committed to supporting all pensioners in a sustainable way that gives them a dignified retirement whilst also being fair to them and taxpayers. “However, it’s important to say DWP is not legally obliged to carry out these recommendations and the Ombudsman expects it to be highly resistant to doing so. This is why it is taking the extraordinary action of asking Parliament to intervene and identify a way to provide compensation. It’s likely we will see this saga continue to rumble on.
