A win for Windrush campaigners:

Private pension losses will now be compensated under the #Windrush Compensation Scheme--important considering the age of claimants.

BUT without free legal representation, access to compensation is hampered.

The UN rights chief presented his office's report on #reparations for legacies of #colonialism and #enslavement in Geneva yesterday.

@hrw.org welcomes his call for a transformative, context-specific & rights-based approach to reparations led by affected communities.

#UK's @phsombudsman.bsky.social finds:
1/ deep flaws in management of Home Office's #Windrush Compensation Scheme
2/ compensation offers should account for private pension losses. #WindrushScandal

@hrw.org will say it again: Windrush claimants need access to legal aid.
