pensions for women born in 1954

Hello to all
i was wondering if there is any information on pensions for women born in the catchment years of 1954. I know there has been a lot of misleading reports so hopefully someone will have some information as to any government rulings .  Thank you for taking the time to read this.

What government rulings ? 

If you mean the state pension then nothing has changed from the 1995 and 2011 acts.

Never seen anything misleading apart from just about anything issued by WASPE and similar.

There's still a lot of chewing on to do, but a recent Court hearing judged that DWP had been remiss in not sending out advice letters in a timely manner over a 2 year period.  This MAY result in some maladministration compensation, but I'd be surprised if this was more than a few pounds.  

Disgracefully, WASPE are giving the impression that they have 'won' and some of their misguided followers are now expecting to receive 5 years of 'missing' pensions.  Shame on WASPE.

As Silvertabby points out, this is a very long way from any suggestion that the Ombudsman is going to happily award 5 or 6 years of extra pension payments.

It wasn't a court hearing. It's part of the PHSO investigation into maladministration. This has been proven but just over a small 28 month window.

The Stage 3 provisional findings were of course leaked by David Hencke who pretends to be on the side of all 50s' women where in actual fact he is a BT60 supporter who is totally against the PHSO investigation and Waspi.

Nothing finalised as yet but the provisional findings were that they should be awarded £1k for distress. I don't think it should be anything close to that at all but looks like it may.
