A new WASPI group has been set up on Arran following the first meeting, which was held recently at the Ormidale Pavilion in Brodick.
There was a great turnout of 20 women who have been affected by the changes to their state pension age. Many women now have to wait a further six years longer than expected due to the maladministration and lack of communicating the changes by the Department of Work and Pensions.
Ann Fraser, coordinator of Ayrshire WASPI group, was warmly welcomed by the Arran women and North Ayrshire and Arran MP Patricia Gibson also attended part of the meeting and whose contribution was welcomed.
