Question to the Department for Work and Pensions:
To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, whether resources for the Independent Case Examiner have been ringfenced or increased to deal with cases regarding the state pension age for women born in the 1950s.
The Independent Case Examiner Office has received no additional resource to deal with cases regarding the state pension age for women born in the 1950s, but a team of Investigation Case Managers was set up at the beginning of October 2017 to investigate this group of complaints.
