WASPI campaigners are still waiting for compensation after it was ruled they were owed up to £2,950 each
Women Against State Pension Inequality campaigners are calling on others to join them with a month to go.
In March, an Ombudsman report said WASPI women should be issued compensation of between £1,000 and £2,950 each, with Parliament told to "act swiftly" in issuing the cash. And with the Tories heading for defeat in the July general election, many WASPI women were hoping a Labour victory would mean the money they are owed would finally arrive.
Chancellor Rachel Reeves will deliver Labour's first Budget on Wednesday October 30, and at the beginning of September, she told the BBC it would involve "difficult decisions" on tax, spending and benefits, with it looking unlikely that WASPI compensation will be a priority.
