The Women Against State Pension Inequality (WASPI) campaign has launched a legal battle against the UK government, seeking a judicial review over its decision to deny compensation to women affected by state pension age changes.
The group argues that millions of women born in the 1950s were unfairly impacted when the pension age was raised without adequate notice. Campaigners gathered outside the Royal Courts of Justice in London as the case begins, demanding justice and financial redress. The government has ruled out a £10 billion compensation package, but WASPI remains determined to fight for payments of up to £2,950 per affected woman.
The outcome of the legal challenge could have significant financial implications for both the government and the women involved.
