The DWP recently announced it is on track to complete its review of State Pension by the end of 2024.
The Department for Work and Pensions now estimates that 165,000 older people have been underpaid their State Pension by £1.2 billion due to historical errors affecting mostly married women, widows and those aged over 80. It also estimates 210,000 people may have been underpaid a further £1.3 billion due to historical issues relating to Home Responsibilities Protection .
DWP identified that 10 million National Insurance records of people claiming Universal Credit have not been updated properly and a small proportion of these may have also been underpaid their State Pension. HMRC will start sending out letters to people who may be affected in the Autumn. State Pension underpayment progress - March 2023 Payments made between January 2021 and March 2023 are listed below.
A phone call to the pension service is the quickest way to find out if you are eligible for a State Pension refund. The best number to call is 0800 731 0469 but full contact details can be found on the Gov.uk website here.
