Last year, Waspi women received a huge boost when the Parliamentary & Health Service Ombudsman ruled that the Department for Work & Pensions (DWP) should have given more notice of moves to raise their state retirement age. Only Jeremy Corbyn as leader offered us 31,100 compensation, which was sabotaged by the present Labour leader Starmer, and his fellow saboteurs against Labour winning 2019 general election. The Ombudsman himself says it is possible that. Here, our solicitors at Bindmans LLP take a break from preparing WASPIs judicial review against the Ombudsman to answer ten key questions about the case. Malad PHSO is solely about 1950sWomen It all sounds great ,I have lived through (the pound in your pocket),(tightening our belts) (jam tomorrow ) (all in it togetherha ha) the grey suites will not allow it .they got a big shock when we voted BREXIT.they will not allow such a thing again (as a truck driver I worked more hours under the common market and eu ,driving about and talking to people I saw the 08 crash coming and the vote no..they told the waspi women there was no money,then along comes covid,Ukraine (plenty for war mongering and then the icing on the cake 1000 illegals across the channel that they can not stop (really ? ) Thank you. Another change in 2011 accelerated the rise to 65 and increased it to 66 for both men and women by 2020., DON'T MISS:April's 13.25% National Insurance hike faces axe -'Sunak must act NOW[INSIGHT]Sunak launches new inheritance tax and capital gains tax grab in April[REVEAL]Millions to retire on just 1,000 - bleak outlook on State Pension[WARNING]. Well at least this is getting talked about . If you're in work , to earn a qualifying year, you generally need to earn a minimum amount of money during a tax year, and pay the required NI contributions. they are not children. I have received no statement from her only some coverage from Waspi members who object to my coverage revealing the contents of the Parliamentary Ombudsmans second provisional report wh ich looks at the case for compensation for partial maladministration. WASPIs case is much more straightforward. PHSO report is a joke the only way we will get any compensation is with a change of Government roll on for hopefully an early general election before any more of us die, You seem to have lost your support for Waspis women, why ? Follow each other over the cliff edge, Simpson said they are are not giving up. As promised, we are now in a position to share our legal arguments about where the Ombudsman has gone wrong in deciding whether WASPI women have suffered injustice. The governments of Harold Wilson (1960s and early 1970s) built on Attlees foundations and our Over 50s partys policies are only what the state pension would have reached if Wilsons betterments of 1974 and 1975 had remained til today. The National Insurance Fund sadly is not a kitty for a pension scheme, but funding for various other things as well, including redundancy for workers when a private firm goes bust. Any woman who made significant choices like this between 2006 and July 2009 could potentially have suffered direct financial loss as a result of maladministration which is very unlikely to be compensated for on the Ombudsman's "counting backwards 28 months" approach. Because it was in the kitty it was there and whoever used it (STOLE) therefore should be brought to JUSTICE and we all should see documents relating to this spending. We lawfully represent all #50sWomen via our legal team out of our Judicial Review and Tribunal: unlike other self appointed oracles. This may include adverts from us and 3rd parties based on our understanding. Heaven forfend not. The finding brings the prospect of compensation closer for thousands of women born in the 1950s who have long been furious about the issue. The ombudsman uses a compensation scale where the amounts range from zero to more than 10,000. His responsibilities in this investigation have to be exercised in a lawful way, worthy of that trust. There has to be injustice too. Legally, it is irrational. The main targets are the stark inconsistencies between the Ombudsmans Stage 1 report - which rightly found maladministration by the DWP on a massive scale and the Stage 2 report, which finds that maladministration led to no injustice at all in relation to lost opportunities or direct financial losses in any of the cases examined. They are not campaigning for 6m women born in the 50s and 60s. Simpson said that some women were written to in 2009, some 14 years after the first change, but letters were then stopped until 2012. But everyone makes mistakes and we believe he has made several here based on our experience (which includes successful judicial review cases involving the Ombudsman). Admin Grey Swans is a specific pension group of the 1950s ladies, who can attest to how bad Tory, Labour and Lib Dems governments have been to women pensioners and the 1950s to 1980s born ladies, since at least 1978. Women who had originally planned to retire at 60, for example, would have been available for caregiving roles within their families, both for children and elderly relatives. If what you have reported is in any way false then now is the time to for Angela Madden to speak up. @DorothySpringer As you have appointed yourself, to use your terminology, mudslinger for #WaSpi Angela Madden & Board, you would do well to look in the mirror. Regrettably, we have concluded that the Ombudsman is seriously mistaken about the injustice WASPI women have suffered. Some of those hardest hit would get up to 31,300. She told the audience that WASPI was still proceeding with a case with the Parliamentary Ombudsman to get compensation. Yet you accuse Waspi of being economical with the truth? Age 50 back for early works pension or in full for manual jobs (1970s born onwards), Why does everything come down to money when pensioners are dying before they receive their pension just give us what we are entitled to, this sounds like an empty promise if no one is behind the promise, money is being found for everything but the older generation in this country, we are considered an inconvenience, we need a leader with a backbone, FAO Angela Madden In any event, had #WaSpi nothing to hide, they would respond themselves. Also more pensioners are remaining in work beyond retirement age, which means boss NI contributions continue. giving reasons that are rational based on the evidence and logical; and. Also when we get our pension we are told not eligible for carers 22 per cent pay rise for nurses and Junior Doctors, With regards to the ongoing points raised by women affected, a DWP spokesperson commented to Express.co.uk on the matter. The third and final stage will be a recommendation to Parliament, with MPs having the final say. Millions could get more state pension depending on the outcome of the probe launched into the government raising the age of qualification from 60 to 66. It then reverted back to the 2 month rule for year 1954 births onwards. The case itself is formally started with a Claim Form, the Grounds for judicial review which set out the arguments in greater detail (which we will publish as soon as we can) and supporting evidence. Please do let others know about the case and ask if they can do what they can to support it. which unlimited page website, published manifesto, was crowdfunded by pension campaign ladies as individuals, gathered from all our misery heaped on our head by Tory, Labour and Lib Dems governments alike since 1978 onwards. Women Against State Pension Inequality Ltd is a campaign group fighting for fair compensation for the maladministration by the DWP in not properly informing 1950s women of State Pension Age changes. The organisation is campaigning to end womens state pension equality and wants women born in the 1950s s to be compensated for them failure of the government to properly inform them of the effects of the six year delay from 60 to 66 in raising their pension age. persons being held responsible as to were it went etc I think the government spent that money so none was left for our pensions on retirement and maybe thats why they put the working age to 65 and then 66 yr because there was nothing left to pay us with. After many years of campaigning our demand is for justice in the form of fair and fast compensation before more 1950s women die - and we are not going away, Simpson added. The Ombudsman is generally a careful decision-maker and has a special role. Our campaign is determined to see this through to the bitter end and obtain justice via fair and fast compensation.. Please also be aware that my anger about you leaking the confidential report from the PHSO is more to do with the fact that you are selectively picking parts of the report to suit what appears to be an anti Waspi agenda. Waspi hopes to raise 100,000 to challenge the PHSO's decision-making, saying that if just three per cent of the women affected donated 1, they would raise the required sum overnight. Why are you continually getting at Waspi and basically making stuff up? Waspi women are fighting hard for compensation, Had no idea! WASPI woman, 70, frustrated at state pension age change, WASPI widow, 66, faces 'dire' circumstances as energy bills soar, Liberal Democrat leader Sir Ed Davey holds up his Waspi pledge, WASPI woman caring for brother-in-law slams state pension sum, WASPI women celebrate huge boost to state pension age campaign, Sir Keir Starmer gave his backing for Waspi womens struggle for compensation, Waspi woman's desperate step after State Pension snub. The pensioner will pay ! Even though there were aspects of the Stage 1 report where we felt the Ombudsman should have gone further, we felt we had been listened to.. You are supposed to be on the side of ALL 50s women but you seem to be heavily biased towards BT60. Born January 1954. How many reports and interim reports need to be produced? People of State Pension age may be due extra 201 each week from April,Successful new claims for Pension Credit may also qualify for the 900 cost of living payment. We are Women Against State Pension Inequality (WASPI), women born in the 1950s, fighting for fair compensation for maladministration by the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP). First the spectacle with Bindmans, the split then Connect. We need your support. The there is no money left lie is just that. Several comments on this thread about the Parliamentary and Health Service Ombudsman. Read Free Health Risks And Fair Compensation In The Fire Service Risk Systems And . 2-min read. @David. Our judicial review case against the Ombudsman in an nutshell - and what it means for WASPI women. The Ombudsmans announcement only concluded the first stage of its investigation. This conclusion cannot be reconciled with the Ombudsman's Stage 1 report either, nor with his past practice. I wasnt aware I said you needed permission to report. As a campaign group, however, we are concerned that current policies are not doing enough to tackle the gender pensions gap. He considers there was injustice, but in the cases he looked at closely in Stage 2 of his investigation (the six sample complainants) he concludes there were no lost opportunities and no direct financial loss at all as a result of the DWP maladministration. I even had a source recently in the DWP leaking to my blog when pensioners were being particularly badly treated by the DWP. Afterwards she told me she had to be very cautious in mentioning any sum at all. Angela Madden never said 6m 50s and 60s women. Judicial review is the only way to challenge the Ombudsman. As well as all for ages of course, like policies of:
