Dear [MP Name]
I am one of an estimated 2,000 victims of the Equitable Life scandal living in your constituency who lost hard-earned pension savings because of a decade of maladministration by government departments and their regulators.
Despite the Parliamentary Ombudsman saying I should be put back into the position I would have been in had the maladministration not occurred – and despite the Government having accepted responsibility for the failures and how much I have lost because of them - I have received only 22.4% of my losses back.
The Prime Minister, Sir Keir Starmer, has said: “We must restore the sense that this is a country that can rectify injustice, particularly when carried out by institutes of the state.” I agree. I strongly believe that where the state accepts responsibility for a mistake, it should provide full and timely redress. I imagine and hope you do too.
The Government is doing the right thing by fully compensating victims of the infected blood and post office scandals, where it has also accepted responsibility for failures. The same principle should apply to victims of the Equitable Life scandal like me, who desperately need their heard-earned pension savings in their remaining years.
Will you please help me get the pension I worked so hard for by writing to the Prime Minister and Chancellor on my behalf and by raising this issue in the House?
I look forward to hearing from you.
Your sincerely,
