Activists still hope to receive compensation payments from the Labor Party Government.
Waspi activists have received a “last minute” letter from the Department of Labor and Pensions (DWP) on a legal challenge. Activists still hope to receive compensation payments from the Government of the Labor Party.
Waspi women (women against the inequality of state pensions) fighting for the department for work and pensions ( DWP ) The brochures were warned after the report of the Ombudsman that the Labor Government was rejecting their claims in December.
Now, Sir Keir Starmer’s party has sent a letter to Waspi president Angela Madden. A government speaker said previously on March 10: “We do not comment on live litigation. We accept the discovery of the Ombudsman of Mala administration and we have apologized for having a 28 -month delay in the writing of women born in the 1950s.

“However, the evidence showed that only one in four people remembered having read and received 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 government cannot justify the payment of a compensation scheme of £ 10.5 billion at the expense of the taxpayer.”
Mrs. Madden said: “What we can say is that the position of the DWP does not change. We are how we speak reviewing the letter response with our lawyers urgently.” She also stated: “Our position does not change. Unless our lawyers tell us that the arguments we want to put to court are significantly undermined by anything in the response letter, which is unlikely, we will tell you to prepare and present the documents for the claim for judicial review, so that the Superior Court can consider and govern on the legality of the decision.”
Mrs. Madden said: “We still firmly believe that the Secretary of State is wrong to deny that Waspi women suffered injustice as a result of DWP DWP disease.
She said: “Once we have received legal advice from the legal team, we will file a claim, we will expect that statement to have an initial hearing, which would ensure that it is logical and that we have reasons.” She said that after this, a date would probably be set for a two -day judicial review hearing, but this could really happen.
