Hannah Bardell MP said she will continue to campaign for the women who have been denied justice
West Lothian WASPI women and Livingston MP Hannah Bardell have called on the UK Government to take responsibility for short-changing women born in the 1950s due to increasing women’s State Pension Age.
The Livingston MP said however that she takes issue with the Ombudsman’s suggestion that the appropriate level of compensation would be just £1,000 – £2,950, and she will be urging the UK Parliament to look at a higher level of compensation that is both fair and fast to implement. “I find it outrageous that the Department has refused to accept that maladministration occurred or engage in discussions on compensation.
“Like so many WASPI women across the UK who have faced pension injustice, WASPI West Lothian will continue to fight for justice, and I’ll be right there with them.”
