The PHSO has urged Parliament to “act swiftly” to make sure a compensation scheme is established.
A five-year long investigation by the Parliamentary and Health Service Ombudsman has found that thousands of women born in the 1950s may have been affected by the Department for Work and Pensions’ failure to adequately inform them that the State Pension age had changed. The Ombudsman has asked Parliament to intervene and “act swiftly” to make sure a compensation scheme is established.
“Parliament now needs to act swiftly, and make sure a compensation scheme is established. We think this will provide women with the quickest route to remedy.” “The report at least finds that Level 4 compensation is required, but politicians across party lines have previously supported Level 6 - which would far more clearly and reasonably recognises the injustice and loss of opportunities suffered.
“The UK Government must right this historic wrong, and go beyond the recommendations of the Parliamentary and Health Service Ombudsman and deliver fair compensation to these women as a matter of urgency.” The 1995 Pensions Act and subsequent legislation raised the state pension age for women born on or after April 6 1950.
In addition to paying compensation, the ombudsman made it clear that the DWP should acknowledge its failings and apologise for the impact it has had on complainants and others similarly affected.
