The DWP is under fire ɑfter being grilled by MPs, ɑnd now WASPI’s full recommendɑtions ɑre out, leɑving mɑny wondering whɑt comes next. With emotions running high, could this be the beginning of ɑ mɑjor shift?

The Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) is facing renewed pressure after being grilled by MPs, as the long-awaited full recommendations linked to the WASPI campaign have now been published.
The findings focus on how thousands of women were affected by changes to the State Pension age — and how failures in communication left many unprepared for retirement, financial hardship and years of uncertainty.
Campaigners say the report confirms what WASPI women have argued for years: that the impact was not just financial, but deeply personal.

With emotions running high in Parliament and across the country, pressure is now building on the government to respond clearly — and to explain whether any form of compensation or corrective action will follow.
For many affected women, this moment feels critical.
Is this finally the turning point they have been waiting for?
