WASPI campaigners are demanding compensation over their historic underpayments and injustices
WASPI campaigners have urged the Department for Work and Pensions to cease its "game playing" after it allegedly declined a meeting. The campaigners, who are seeking compensation for historical underpayments and injustices, have accused the government of "hiding" and declared: "We won't go away."
The DWP has been accused of kicking the WASPI issue "into the long grass" following an Ombudsman's ruling earlier this year that women should be compensated. Jane Cowley, another campaigner, revealed that requests for a meeting with Mr Stride had been ignored. "It does seem to us that they are playing for time, and hoping to kick it into the long grass," she cautioned, reports Birmingham Live.
