We want the Government to urgently respond to PHSO report and set up a compensation scheme by 21 March 2025.

In March 2024, the Parliamentary and Health Service Ombudsman said 1950s-born women were owed financial redress and an apology due to DWP maladministration.

The Ombudsman’s findings were backed by the cross-party Work and Pensions Select Committee, hundreds of MPs and, according to our polling, 68% of the public. However, only the Government has the power to put this injustice right.

We have calculated that with one affected woman dying every 13 minutes, there is no time for further delay.
