New data has shown underpayment errors
Women over the State Pension age could be owed up to thousands in back payments by the Department for Work and Pensions . New data released by the department shows State Pension underpayment errors between January 2021 and February 2023.
An update will be published on May 11 which is expected to show that as many as 237,000 pensioners have been underpaid around £1.46 billion. The issue largely affects women retiring under the old State Pension system when many did not receive the State Pension payment they were entitled to under their husband’s National Insurance record.
Commenting on the most recent figures, Ms Morrissey said: “DWP is making progress in dealing with State Pension underpayments but there’s a mountain still to climb. So far almost 47,000 underpayments have been identified with £300m being repaid. She continued: “The issue mainly affects women retiring under the old State Pension system . Some were unaware of the problem but many who queried the issue with DWP over the years were told there was no issue with many enduring real financial hardship as a result.State Pension underpayment progress - February 2023 Payments made between January 2021 and February 2023 are listed below.
