The Liberal Party notes with considerable disappointment the continued delays to the publication of the Parliamentary and Health Service Ombudsman (PHSO) report into changes to the state pension for women and the financial hardship this has caused.
Changes to pension entitlement meant that 3.8 million women born in the 1950’s saw their age of entitlement raised without proper consultation or publicity.
This gave many insufficient time to plan ahead and make further financial provision for their retirement.
Continue delays in closing the gender pay gap further disadvantages women in funding their pension provision and maintaining financial independence.
The Liberal Party fully supports the Women Against State Pension Inequality (WASPI) in their campaign for justice and compensation for the financial distress they have find themselves in.
