Millions of women born in the 1950s were affected by the change to the State Pension age.
Rishi Sunak has told MPs during Prime Minister’s Questions on Wednesday that the UK Government will “respond appropriately to any recommendations that come our way” when the Parliamentary and Health Service Ombudsman completes its investigation into the State Pension age rise which affected millions of women born in the 1950s.
In July 2021, the PHSO ruled that the Department for Work and Pensions failed to communicate the age changes to those women with enough urgency, finding it guilty of maladministration, and is currently investigating the harm caused. “Many, like my constituent, unknowingly gave up work at 60, only to realise they had no income, they could not pay their bills and some have even lost their homes.”
