Windrush victim rejects ‘insulting’ offer of £22,000 payout
Glenda Caesar, who was out of work for a decade, says Home Office is offering ‘crumbs’
The recipient of one of the first Windrush compensation offers has said she plans to turn it down, describing the government’s offer as insultingly low because it covers only a year’s loss of earnings even though she was out of work for a decade.
Glenda Caesar, 58, came to Britain legally as a three-month-old child in 1961 from Dominica, and has lived in the UK ever since. She was sacked from her job as an administrator in a GP’s practice in 2009 and was subsequently denied unemployment benefits.
