Editorial: The Guardian

• Successive governments failed to explain pension changes.
• Thousands of women are entitled to compensation.
• The final report on pension entitlement changes affected women between 1995 and 2011.
• There has been maladministration within the Department for Work and Pensions.
• Poor communication led many women born in the 50s to believe they could retire at 60.
• Mistakes were made at every stage of this process.
• The report suggests a compensation estimate between £3.5bn and £10.5bn.
• The government's response to these recommendations has been inadequate.

Conclusion: The lack of effective communication and the maladministration have caused financial harm to women, and the government's inadequate responses to this issue add insult to injury.
