Ombudsman recommends pay-outs in women’s pension chaos

STV News has been hearing from 3 women about the impact on their lives

Women born in the 1950s affected by the changes in the state pension age should be given an immediate apology and compensation, according to a long awaited report.

The Ombudsman has urged the UK Government to “do the right thing” and is suggesting pay-outs of between £1,000 and £3,000 for those whose retirements were thrown into chaos.

Campaigners believe that figure should be closer to £10,000 but fear they’ll never see a penny of compensation.
