Quick Glance: Compensation Demanded for Women Affected by Pension Age Changes - Ombudsman
  • In 1995, a law was passed setting out a timetable to gradually raise the retirement age for women to 65, aligning it with men.

  • The coalition government decided in 2010 to accelerate this timetable, resulting in the new higher retirement age for women being brought forward to 2018.

  • The ombudsman suggests that women in the sample cases should receive compensation ranging from £1,000 to £2,950, but the Department for Work and Pension (DWP) disagrees.

  • Based on the report, the DWP strongly doubts providing a remedy and has asked Parliament to intervene in light of the significant impact of maladministration.
