![]() ![]() Why are the stage two findings not on your website? You can see the recommendations we have made in previous cases in reports of our other investigations. For example, compensation for a Level 3 injustice would fall within the range of £500-£950. Each level includes a range of amounts of compensation we would usually recommend in those circumstances. The Severity of Injustice scale contains six different levels of injustice that a complaint could fall into. To decide how much compensation to recommend we refer to our guidance about financial remedy (including our Severity of Injustice scale) and take account of relevant precedents. When we find an injustice was suffered as result of maladministration, we make recommendations which might include compensation is paid. To do so would amount to us recommending DWP reverse or try to reverse primary legislation. Nor can we recommend that anyone receive their State Pension any earlier than the law allows or gets more State Pension than they are entitled to. Many complainants have told us they are seeking reinstatement of their State Pension, the State Pension age to revert to 60, and/or compensation for the amount of State Pension they would have received had their State Pension age not changed.Ī 2019 High Court decision underlined that we are not able to recommend DWP reimburse ‘lost’ pensions. We have already published our report for stage one. In 2006, DWP proposed writing to women individually to tell them about changes to State Pension age but it failed to act promptly. Stage one of our investigation found that between 19, DWP’s communication of changes to State Pension age reflected the standards we would expect it to meet.īut in 2005, DWP failed to make a reasonable decision about targeting information to the women affected by these changes. That was maladministration. For that reason, we are not accepting any new complaints about these issues at present. Our review of the complaints shows that they relate to the same key issues. We have received a significant number of similar complaints since we first proposed to investigate. They also complained that they suffered financial loss due to DWP inadequately communicating how many National Insurance qualifying years they need for a full State Pension. They told us that DWP’s and ICE's handling of their complaints about these issues had a negative effect on their emotional well-being. The 1995 Pensions Act and subsequent legislation raised State Pension age for women born on or after 6 April 1950. Women complained to us that DWP did not adequately communicate these changes. They say they have experienced financial loss and a negative impact on their health, emotional well-being or home life as a result. We hope this cooperative approach will provide the quickest route to remedy for those affected and reduce the delay to the publication of our final report. We are confident that we have completed a fair and impartial investigation and, as an independent Ombudsman, our duty is to provide the right outcome for all involved and make sure justice is achieved. Our final publication will be delayed while this takes place. With a legal challenge brought against us, we have agreed to look again at part of our stage 2 report. Hopefully, this one arrives with more concrete details about what to expect in the year ahead.We had intended to publish our final report by the end of March 2023. and NetherRealm Studios gear up for a more grandiose announcement. ![]() Stay tuned to hear more about Mortal Kombat 12 as Warner Bros.
