What do you think is fair for WASPI women?

5 Live listeners tell Nicky Campbell what they think.

A long-awaited report on how women born in the 1950s were affected by increases to their retirement age has said women born in the 1950s are "owed" money.

It said that the Department for Work and Pensions has "clearly indicated that it will refuse to comply... this is unacceptable"

The timetable to bring women鈥檚 pension age in line with men鈥檚 was accelerated in 2011.

Campaigners say millions of women suffered financially as they were not warned about the rise ahead of time, and should receive compensation.

A DWP spokesperson says: 鈥淲e will consider the ombudsman鈥檚 report and respond in due course, having cooperated fully throughout this investigation.鈥
