The Independent  – Pensions fiasco could cost taxpayer £10.5bn – or more

The Independent says a damning watchdog report tells the government it must compensate women who were not warned that their pensionable age was changing from 60 to 65 – but No 10 refuses to confirm payouts.

A damning report has said that the affected women, born in the 1950s, should be offered an apology and payouts of between £1,000 and £2,950, after changes to the age at which they would be eligible to draw a state pension were not communicated properly, plunging their retirement plans into chaos.
