Six groups of people have been encouraged to contact the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP), as they may be entitled to thousands of pounds in back payments - dating as far back as 1985.
It has been revealed by the National Audiot Office (NAO), that some 237,000 people who qualify for State Pension have been underpaid a total of £1.46 billion - The Daily Record reports.
In a report put together by the Comptroller and Auditor General of the NAO, it is highlighted that the DWP has “identified several new groups of pensioners potentially affected by underpayment, the most significant relating to Home Responsibilities Protection (HRP)."
