There are six groups of older women who should contact the pension service to see if they could be entitled to more State Pension
The Department for Work and Pensions recently said that it expects to complete the correction exercise into State Pension underpayments for two groups of women by the end of this year. The Pensions Minister said the exercise for those on CAT BL and CAT D should be completed in 2023, but could run through to “late 2024”.
The latest update was announced after shadow work and pensions secretary, Jonathan Ashworth MP, asked DWP if it would be setting out a timeline for “repaying the remaining 200,000 pensioners identified in 2020 as having been underpaid their State Pension”. “Our delivery is backloaded, with case reviews expected to significantly increase this year and going forward.”
Who may be due back payments for State Pension? There are six particular groups strongly encouraged to contact the pension service to see if they could be entitled to more State Pension. A DWP spokesperson said: “The action we are taking now will correct historical underpayments made by successive governments. We are fully committed to addressing these errors, not identified under previous governments, as quickly as possible.
