WASPI women threaten legal action against Labour ministers after being denied £10.5bn in compensation because of changes to the state pension age.
The Women Against State Pension Inequality (WASPI) campaign has sent a ‘letter before action’ to the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP), warning of High Court proceedings if the issue is not resolved.
Angela Madden, chairwoman of the group, said members will not allow the DWP’s ‘gaslighting’ of Waspi women to go ‘unchallenged’.
