Waspi’s women threaten the work with legal actions of more than 3K compensation rejection

Despite the PHSO recommendation to the government The work ruled out any compensation package for those affected last December.

Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer acknowledged the concerns, but remained firm in the decision, stating: “ninety percent of the impacted knew about the change, and in those circumstances, the taxpayer simply cannot afford the burden of tens of thousands of millions of pounds of pounds of compensation. “

The changes were announced for the first time in 1995, with the process later accelerated under the Government of Liberal Conservative Democratic Coalition.

Angela Madden, president of the Waspi campaign, said members would not allow the “gas lighting” of the DWP affected women not to be delivered.

“The government has accepted that women born in the 1950s are victims of poor administration, but now it says that none of us suffered injustice. We believe that this is not only an indignation but legally incorrect,” he said.

In the midst of this confrontation with the Government, the group has launched a Crowd Justice Campaign of £ 75,000 to finance its legal actions.

“We have been successful before and we are sure we will be again,” Madden added, urging the Secretary of State to “come to the table to resolve a compensation package.

“Current Labor Leadership faces scrutiny about their position, since several upper ministers backed the Waspi campaign while they were in opposition.

Foreign Minister Rachel Reeves and the Secretary of Labor and Pensions, Liz Kendall, were among those who previously supported the demands of the campaign.

Approximately 3.6 million women in the United Kingdom were affected by gradual changes to align their retirement age with men.

Last developments:

Labor deputy Brian Leishman was one of the 10 party members to support an SNP bill that urges action on the findings of the Ombudsman.

Leishman warned that the next government of the United Kingdom could be an “hard -right hard line effort” if the Labor did not meet the “improved living standards.”

A government spokesman responded to the threat of the campaign, saying: “We accept the discovery of the Ombudsman of Mala Administration and we have apologized for having a 28 -month delay in writing to women born in the 1950s.”

The spokesman added that the evidence showed that only one in four people remembered unexpected letters, while by 2006, 90 percent of women born in the 1950s were aware of the changes in the age of state pensions .

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