The Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) says 1,000 people could be eligible for a special payment due to a mistake by the agency. Scores of people received less money than they should have done after being told to claim the wrong benefit.

The DWP told these claimants to get Income Support, but they should have been told to get Income-related Employment and Support Allowance (ESA), the Mirror reports.
