Waspi activists threaten work with legal actions on DWP compensation

Waspi activists have threatened the Government of the Labor Party with legal actions on compensation. He Labor Party The government at the end of last year ruled out giving £ 10 billion to women born in the 1950s whose pensionable age was raised to be equal to men.

Last March, the defender of the parliamentary people and health service recommended compensation recommended by state pension changes that “had not been properly communicated”, with compensation figures of £ 2,950 promoted.

But Sir Keir Starmer rejected the Labor and Pension Department ( DWP ) Payments, saying: “ninety percent of those impacted knew about the change, and in those circumstances, the taxpayer simply cannot afford tens of billions of pounds of compensation.”

Now, the Waspi campaign has sent a “letter before the action” to the DWP, warning about the procedures of the Superior Court if the problem is not resolved. Angela Madden, the president of the group, said that members would not allow the “gas lighting” of Waspi’s women of the DWP not to be delivered.

She wrote: “The Government has accepted that women born in the 1950s are victims of poor administration, but now says that none of us suffered any injustice. We believe that this is not just an indignation but legally incorrect.

“We have been successful before and we are sure we will be again. But what would be better for everyone is if the Secretary of State now watched meaning and came to the table to resolve a compensation package. The alternative is the continuous defense of the indefensible, but this time in front of a judge. “

Brian Leishman was one of the 10 labor parliamentarians to support a bill introduced by the SNP urging the Government to publish measures to address the findings of the Ombudsman’s report. Leishman said that the next United Kingdom government could be an “extreme right effort” if work did not deliver “improved living standards.”

A government spokesman said: “We accept the discovery of the Ombudsman of Mala administration and we have apologized for having a delay of 28 months in writing to women born in the 1950s. However, the evidence showed that only one of Every four people remembered having read and receiving letters that did not expect and that by 2006 90% of women born in the 1950s knew that the state pension age was changing.

“The previous letters would not have affected this. For these and other reasons, the government cannot justify paying for a compensation scheme of £ 10.5 billion at the expense of the taxpayer. “
