Probe into 'sexist and archaic' pension rule gives thousands hope

The Parliamentary Ombudsman is launching an investigation into seven lead cases, which could pave the way for hundreds of millions of pounds of arrears being paid out if successful.

Many older married women entitled to bigger pensions based on their husbands' contributions have missed out on thousands of pounds each.
