North Shropshire MP Helen Morgan is calling for WASPI women fighting for pension equality to be given interim payments to help them cope while their full compensation is decided.
North Shropshire MP Helen Morgan has called for WASPI women to be given cash amid the cost of living crisis
Last year, the Parliamentary Ombudsman ruled that Government officials were too slow to tell many women they would have to wait longer for their state pension due to the rising age of retirement. The cost of living crisis is adding to the financial burden and Mr Morgan believes WASPI women deserve support now.Speaking in the House of Commons, the Liberal Democrat MP said: “Last July, the Ombudsman ruled that the Government was too slow to tell many women that they would be affected by the rising state pension age.
Laura Trott, Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, refused, saying that it “would not be appropriate to take any further steps at this stage” while the Ombudsman’s investigation is ongoing. WASPI agrees with equalisation, but does not agree with the"unfair" way the changes were implemented.
WASPI has undertaken extensive research including FOI requests and has discovered that recommendations to give fair notice were ignored.
