Overview
- Campaigners are holding an MPs drop-in at Parliament on Tuesday after urging affected constituents to contact their representatives by Monday.
- WASPI chair Angela Madden says the department has refused to engage despite offers to pursue alternative dispute resolution instead of court.
- The DWP says the pensions minister met WASPI representatives in September last year, with no further meetings currently planned.
- The group is pursuing a judicial review that, if successful, would require ministers to reconsider their rejection of compensation without guaranteeing payments.
- The push follows the Ombudsman’s March 2024 finding of maladministration affecting 1950s-born women, and campaigners are seeking £2,950 each for up to 3.6 million people.
