The WASPI (Women Against State Pension Inequality) campaign group is currently engaged in legal action against the UK government over the denial of compensation for women born in the 1950s who were affected by changes to the State Pension age. The group secured a "costs capping order" in June 2025, which limits their legal costs exposure, allowing the legal challenge to proceed. As of August 2025, the High Court has granted a judicial review into the government's decision not to pay compensation to WASPI women. WASPI expects to receive the court's first decision within the next two to three months from May 2025, suggesting a possible decision date in mid to late 2025. In summary:
- The legal challenge is ongoing with a High Court judicial review granted.
- The first court decision is expected in the next two to three months from May 2025.
- This means the decision could potentially come by late summer or early autumn 2025.
So, a decision on the WASPI compensation claim by the High Court is expected around mid to late 2025.
