The Government will reconsider its decision not to award compensation to 1950s-born women affected by changes to the state pension age after new evidence came to light. Work and Pensions Secretary Pat McFadden said undisclosed evidence from 2007 had come to light during legal proceedings ahead of a judicial review due to take place next month. But he said the move did not necessarily mean WASPI women would get compensation. In a Commons statement, Mr McFadden said: "We will approach this in a fair and transparent matter. Retaking this decision should not be taken as an indication that Government will necessarily decide that it should award financial redress. “The work will begin immediately, and we will update the House on the decision as soon as a conclusion is reached.” * This is a breaking news story.
