The Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) could owe hundreds of thousands across the UK as much as £6,929 each through a current correction exercise, with payments landing as soon as the end of the year.
Earlier in the year, the DWP said that State Pension underpayments for two groups of women should be rectified by the end of 2023, with Pensions Minister Laura Trott MP, adding that those on Cat BL and Cat D pensions may have to wait until late 2024.
Answering a question on the Government's UK Parliament site, the MP wrote: "As stated in DWP’s Annual Report and Accounts 2022, the Department expects to complete the exercise for CAT BL and CAT D by the end of 2023. For missed conversion cases, we aim to complete these as soon as we can but for this group the exercise could run through to late 2024.
