The Women Against State Pension Inequality (WASPI) campaign has been fighting for justice for women born in the 1950s who were affected by changes to the state pension age. Many women have found themselves facing financial difficulties due to the lack of proper notification and preparation for these changes. In this article, we will explore how women can apply for WASPI Pension Credit to help alleviate some of the financial burdens they may be facing.

The WASPI Pension Credit is a means-tested benefit designed to provide financial support to women who have been negatively impacted by the changes to the state pension age.

To apply for the WASPI Pension Credit, women need to meet certain criteria. Firstly, they must have been born in the 1950s and have experienced a delay in receiving their state pension.
