PARLIAMENTARY WRITTEN QUESTION
State Retirement Pensions: Females (2 September 2022)

Question Asked

To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, whether she has plans to provide women affected by changes to State Pension age with compensation.

Asked by:
Lee Anderson (Reform UK)

Answer

The Parliamentary and Health Service Ombudsman’s investigation into communication of changes to women’s state pension is ongoing. Section 7(2) of the Parliamentary Commissioner Act 1967 states that Ombudsman investigations “shall be conducted in private”.

It would be inappropriate to comment on these issues whilst the investigation is ongoing.
