She says the redress returns money taken rather than providing compensation.

Overview

  • An independent panel found in favor of Betty Brown, enabling the 92-year-old to settle her claim.
  • Appearing on BBC Breakfast on November 5, she said she can now look to the future and turn the heating up full blast.
