The Department for Work and Pensions estimates that after a state pension error 187,000 are owed money, mostly mothers, of whom 43,000 have already died
HMRC said it will be writing to people who have no HRP on their record and who have gaps in their NI record between 1978 and 2010 .
Steve Webb, partner at LCP, said: “The scale of these errors is huge. It is shocking that so many women have been underpaid so much money. This makes it essential that things are put right as a matter of urgency. “I hope this correction process will be completed as quickly as possible, as far too many people have been underpaid for far too long”.
“For those who are still alive, it is crucial if you receive post from DWP that you open it and act upon it. You can make your claim online – but if you do nothing, you will get nothing from the government.”
