Women in the state’s pension inequality campaign have sent “letters before action” to the department for work and pensions.
WASPI campaigners have threatened the government with legal action unless they reconsidered their decision to refuse compensation for millions of women affected by changes in the state’s pension age.
Watchdog recommended compensation for women born in the 1950s, when state pension ages increased to equal men, but Prime Minister Kiel could make taxpayers a £10.5 billion package He said he couldn’t afford anything that was sexual.
The National Pension Inequality against Women (WASPI) campaign has sent “pre-litigation letters” to the Office of Occupation and Pensions (DWP) warnings of high court proceedings if the issue is not resolved.
Group chair Angela Madden said she would not allow members to “not challenge” the Waspi female DWP’s “gaslight.”
WASPI campaigners have said that the reason the government rejected the Parliamentary and Health Services Ombudsman report was that women should be paid up to £2,950 each, but that they are “legally wrong.” It’s.
The group says it has launched a £75,000 cloud justice campaign to fund legal action, but the government will need to respond to the lawsuit for 14 days before it is filed.

Prime Minister Rachel Reeves and occupation and pension secretary Liz Kendall are among the senior ministers who ruled out the compensation package but supported the WASPI campaign when Labour opposed it.
Approximately 3.6 million women in the UK have announced their retirement ages tailored to men, impacted by changes first announced in the 1990s.
This was later accelerated over a decade ago under the conservative Democratic coalition government.
However, there was a 28-month delay in writing to inform the changes the government had accepted and apologised.
The government previously highlighted a study that showed that by 2006 90% of women born in the 1950s were aware of changes in state pension age.
WASPI campaigners had to reconsider their retirement plans, claiming that women were struggling with financial difficulties.
Madden said: “The government accepts that women born in the 1950s are victims of villains, but now none of us suffer from injustice.
“I believe this is not just anger, but also legally wrong.”
She added:
“But what’s good for everyone is if the Secretary of State comes to the table to see the senses and organize the compensation package.
“The alternative is the ongoing defense of vulnerable people, but this time in front of the judge.”
A government spokesperson said: “I accepted the discovery of the Ombudsman’s Maladomination and apologized for a 28-month delay in writing to a woman born in the 1950s.
“However, the evidence shows that only one in four remembers reading or receiving letters they didn’t expect, and that by 2006 women were born in the 1950s. 90% of them knew that state pension age was changing.
“The previous letters would not have affected this.
“For these and other reasons, the government cannot justify paying a £10.5 billion remuneration scheme at the expense of taxpayers.”
