Question to the Department for Work and Pensions:

To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, how many women in Scotland who have been affected by the changes in state pension age have lodged a complaint with the Independent Case Examiner’s office; how many of those complaints have been accepted for examination; and how many accepted complaints have been reviewed by the Independent Case Examiner’s office.

It is not possible to determine what proportion of all the complaints received by the Independent Case Examiner’s Office originate from women in Scotland; or how many of those complaints have been accepted for examination without incurring disproportionate cost. Of the 86 investigations that have been concluded into this group of complaints, 13 were from women in Scotland.
