Women Against State Pension Inequality (Waspi) campaign group wants to be compensated.

It says the government failed to tell them - or provide adequate notice - about the changes.

The group estimates that at least 300,000 affected women have died during its campaign.

Work and Pensions Secretary Liz Kendall rejected a recommendation to pay them up to Â2,950 each.

Those who reached state pension age after that date get the new state pension, worth Â221.20 a week . From 6 April 2025 , these will be worth Â176.45 and Â230.25 a week respectively. You can use online government calculators to check how much pension you will be entitled to, and when you will be able to start taking it..
