Women Against State Pension Inequality (Waspi) took their case to court for compensation and today they lost. They don’t oppose an equal pension age: their complaint is the speed with which women’s pension age has been raised, to 65 last year, to 66 next year, giving many no chance to build up a pension. This isn’t pension equality. Waspi’s case was never against equalising the pension age – indeed, more women are in work and for longer. A recent Financial Conduct Authority report says the state pension is the main source of income in retirement for 44% of people.
