Martin Lewis issues WASPI compensation scam warning – 24 April 2025
24th April 2025
Martin Lewis warned WASPI women of an alarming rise in scam websites offering compensation for WASPI women. In December 2024 the Government accepted that the Department of Work and Pensions should have communicated sooner and apologised. However Liz Kendal Secretary of State for Work and Pensions said that none suffered injustice and therefore no compensation would be paid. The WASPI Campaign will take every action open to them to reverse this decision.
There is no compensation scheme in place at this time.
