Waspi group case clears court hurdle
Leicester Mercury
|June 07, 2025
WASPI campaigners say they have cleared a hurdle in their battle for a High Court challenge.
-
The Women Against State Pension Inequality group is seeking a judicial review to force the government to reconsider its decision to rule out a compensation package for women affected by the way changes to the state pension age were communicated.
The campaigners said they have received an update to say that their case is arguable, setting them on course for a court hearing.
A previous report by the Parliamentary and Health Service Ombudsman (PSHO) suggested compensation ranging between £1,000 and £2,950 could be appropriate for each of those affected.
