Local MSP for Linlithgow Constituency, Fiona Hyslop, met with WASPI West Lothian Group at Whitburn Partnership Centre to hear more about their campaign for fair compensation.
WASPI West Lothian Group currently have 270 members campaigning for compensation for women born in the 1950’s who have been impacted by changes to the state pension age without proper notice.
Commenting Fiona said:
“I was pleased to meet with several members of WASPI West Lothian Group to hear more about their ongoing campaign for compensation for women impacted by changes to state pension age.
“Earlier this year, I was pleased to vote for a motion of support for compensation for WASPI Women in the Scottish Parliament and I will continue to call for the WAPSI Women to receive the compensation they deserve.
“The Scottish Government has consistently called on the UK Government to compensate the WAPSI Women who have suffered as a result of their wrongs.
“The group currently have 270 members, however it is estimated that the number of women impacted by this issue in West Lothian is much higher at around 10,000. I would encourage anyone who is affected by this to contact WASPI West Lothian Group directly by emailing waspiwestlothian@gmail.com.”
