Waspi campaigners have confirmed they are proceeding with fresh legal action against the Government. Campaigners also argued that Labour's recent local election losses should serve as a warning, with Waspi women and their families representing a significant voting bloc in marginal seats.
In January, women affected by the way changes to the state pension age were communicated were told for a second time that they would not receive compensation. Waspi (Women Against State Pension Inequality), which has long campaigned for compensation, said in March that lawyers would raise "legal errors" with the Government and give its lawyers 14 days to respond. Angela Madden, chair of the Waspi campaign, said: "We will not be ignored and we will not give up this fight."
WASPI women born in the 1950s campaign against changes to the state pension age, which they believe have unfairly affected them. They argue that the changes were not properly communicated, leaving some to endure financial hardship and having to adjust their retirement plans as a result.
