Ms Williams worked as a secondary school teacher for 12 years but she gave this up as she suffered from severe migraines, leaving with a small penison pot of around £3,000 a year.

She has worked several temporary jobs since ending her teaching career and and so was not able to join a workplace pension scheme.

She set up her own pension and tried to put away £50 a month but often she wasn’t able to do this given her living costs.

Aside from her teacher’s pension, she has just £10,000 in total pension pots. But she earns enough that she can’t claim Pension Creidt, which tops up a person’s income up to £218.15 a week for single people and up to £332.95 for couples.

Her flat is a listed building and she used up all her savings around six years age when she had a £16,000 roof repair bill.

She said: “I haven’t been able to put the heating on for six years because I would just be heating the air outside and still be freezing. So I just sit here when it’s cold wrapped in my dressing gown.”

Ms Williams thinks there should be a Commissioner for Older People and Ageing to represent people like her.

A WASPI pensioner from pensions minister Mel Stride’s constituency told Express.co.uk last week she is “disgusted” at the lack of Government action on the question of compensation for WASPI pensioners.

She said: “I’ve written half a dozen times to Mel Stride, who happens to be my MP in this constituency that I live in.

“All I’ve got a couple of times is a bog standard round robin that he obviously sends to everybody. I’m just disgusted frankly.”
