WASPI campaigners from across the country have signed an open letter to Sir keir Starmer.
Leading WASPI campaigners from around the country have written to Sir Keir Starmer demanding he makes a firm commitment to ‘fair and fast’ compensation for women impacted by changes to the State Pension age. WASPI estimates that around 3.6m women born in the 1950s were plunged into poverty when the Department for Work and Pensions failed to properly inform them that the official age of retirement was rising.
WASPI says that represents a ‘betrayal’ after nine years of campaigning when Labour MPs have stood in photographs, sympathising and calling on Conservative ministers to offer redress to those whose lives were ‘turned upside down’ by DWP’s failures. Open letter to Labour Leader, Sir Keir Starmer The letter from WSAPI states: “It seems that you are asking us to make a leap of faith that when you look at the Ombudsman’s recommendations, you will agree to the compensation scheme WASPI women are due.”
The Liberal Democrats, Greens and Scottish National Party have all made pledges to ensure WASPI women are properly compensated. “Just as money has rightly been found for the victims of the Post Office and infected blood scandals, the awful position 1950s women have been put in must be recognised and compensation paid.
