Women born in 1950s die while waiting for state pension compensation
The Parliamentary Ombudsman, the government watchdog, ruled in 2021 that the Department for Work and Pensions had failed to provide clear communication around state pension age changes. However, it is yet to publish any recommendations for redress.
Angela Madden, who leads the “Waspi” campaign, said: “For the 250,000 women who have died while waiting for this issue to be resolved, justice delayed is truly justice denied.”
This equates to around 100 deaths per day, the campaign group said.
Ms Madden added: “The Ombudsman’s investigation has been going on for five long years, and it is two years since he confirmed the DWP was guilty of maladministration.
“To keep women waiting a single further day for a proper offer of compensation just shows an appalling disregard for all of us.”
Susan Taylor, a 65-year-old woman affected by the state pension age rise, said: “Both my sister and I were born in the 1950s and had our retirement plans completely devastated by the state pension age fiasco.
“I lost her at 59 to cancer and was diagnosed myself with lung cancer at 62. I have no quality of life and the financial pressures I face are immense. Some days it’s extremely hard to see anything but a miserable end to a lifetime of hard work as the fight for justice for so many women continues.
According to data from CryptoQuant, cbBTC circulation supply has outpaced long-established players seven days after launch.
Bitcoin options market positioning shifted as BTC price shot through the $60,000 to $63,000 level.
Ether price could be on track for another correction into a triple-bottom, marking the beginning of a big rally into 2025.
The financial regulator requested an extension until February 2025 to review “at least 133,582 unique documents” as part of discovery motions with Coinbase.
Ethereum is still home to the most active crypto developers and is the most attractive chain to build applications on top of for big companies, argues Bitwise’s Matt Hougan.
