In rejecting compensation, Work and pensions secretary Liz Kendall stated that "most women knew the state pension age was increasing," suggesting that communication was sufficient.
The government's decision not to compensate 3.8 million women has drawn criticism from various MPs, including those from within the Labour party, indicating internal dissent.
Kendall argued that financial compensation for 1950s-born women, estimated at 10.5 billion, was deemed an unfair use of taxpayers' money, reflecting budgetary priorities.
Campaigners labeled the government's stance as "bizarre and totally unjustified," demonstrating a significant divide between government perspectives and public sentiment regarding pension age communication.
