WASPI women have slammed the Government’s "utter contempt" for 1950s-born women after the Government’s confirmation it will not compensate them.
Work and Pensions Secretary Pat McFadden announced the decision in the Commons on Thursday.
Angela Madden, Chair of Women Against State Pension Inequality (WASPI), said: “Ministers have demonstrated their utter contempt for 1950s-born women, for Parliament and for the Parliamentary Ombudsman.
The Government has kicked the can down the road for months, only to arrive at exactly the same conclusion it has always wanted to.
“This is a disgraceful political choice by a small group of very powerful people who have decided the harm and injustice suffered by millions of ordinary women simply does not matter."
A report by the Parliamentary and Health Service Ombudsman has previously suggested compensation ranging between £1,000 and £2,950 could be appropriate for each of those affected by how state pension changes had been communicated.
