Aberdeen & Aberdeenshire women supporting @WASPI_2018 in its campaign against unfair changes to the State Pension Age imposed on women born in the 1950s.
The Labour right govt announced it wouldn't be compensating the Waspi women a week before Christmas, just two days before parliament broke up for the xmas break. They're clearly hoping the issue will fade away & their hypocrisy will be forgotten. I think the stench will linger.
An investigation by the @PHSOmbudsman
found maladministration and recommended compensation. @Keir_Starmer is misleading the public with his '90% of '50s women knew'. He is presenting the information dishonestly and the media are parroting this falsehood.

“It’s not as if we are asking for that much [from the Department of Work and Pensions]. But the reality is that a #WASPI woman dies every 13 minutes and an apology doesn’t pay the bills." Linda Carmichael

By 2026 the government will have saved a whopping £181.4 billion by raising #WASPI women’s State Pension age. Some of that huge sum must be used to pay #FairandFastCompensation for @DWPgovuk proven maladministration in failing to inform.

100,000s of people, mostly women age 66+ who took were off work for childcare between 1978 & 2010, are due to get HMRC letter that may be worth £10,000s due to underpaid state pensions. It isn't a scam DON'T bin the letter. See https://t.co/5a9fNY8YFZ
