Response to news that there will be no compensation for WASPI women

Age Scotland’s Chief Executive, Katherine Crawford, said:

“The rise to State Pension Age left millions of women in great hardship, and WASPI campaigners have been fighting for many years to address this injustice.

“Unfortunately, the calls and recommendations of this campaign have continuously fallen on deaf ears at Westminster.

“Today’s decision will be deeply disappointing for those affected, when they had rightly been hoping for vindication and fair compensation following the recommendations clearly outlined in the Ombudsman’s report.”
