Thought this might be an ideal place to mention the WASPI campaign - I know from other posts that many are very aware of the campaign and the continued fight to try to get some sort of transitional scheme for the women who find themselves having to wait until up to 66 for state pension with little notice having been given to allow people to plan effectively - I recently found an article in our local paper, which then lead me to to the South Yorkshire WASPI group, they have had a local meeting in Sheffield and Rotherham and now Barnsley numbers are growing and I attended the first Barnsley meeting last week, the next will be in August, but yesterday many WASPI women did a mass posting of a letter to DWP and our local MP's putting in a Formal Complaint regarding the lack of adequate notice and requesting transitional payments and possibly compensation, the DWP in theory should respond to our letters within 14 days, but they will have been inundated with post!, we shall see what comes of it, but women of a certain age are certainly not going to let this go without a fight. The local groups are on facebook, but pm me if you want any basic info.
