No compensation for 3.8 million Waspi women, government says
"From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging. At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground."
"Up to 3.8 million Waspi women will not receive compensation, the work and pensions secretary has announced after a review of the decision. The government reconsidered the case after a new document came to light, but has reiterated its earlier conclusion that no compensation should be paid. Work and pensions secretary Pat McFadden has apologised that women born in the 1950s were not sent individual letters about their state pension changes earlier, but they will not receive compensation as a result of communications problems."
The Independent covers reproductive rights, climate change and Big Tech and requests donations to fund on-the-ground journalism. The outlet investigates the financials of political PACs, produces documentaries, keeps reporting accessible without paywalls, and asks supporters to fund its work. Up to 3.8 million Waspi women will not receive compensation after a government review. The government reconsidered after a new document emerged but maintained that no compensation should be paid. Work and Pensions Secretary Pat McFadden apologised for failing to send individual state pension letters to women born in the 1950s but said communication failures would not trigger payments. MPs criticised the decision as 'frankly wrong'.
