Some people in receipt of the State Pension could be due up to £6,929. A correction exercise is under way by the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) which could mean a refund for hundreds of thousands of pensioners.
At the beginning of the year, the DWP said it expects to rectify State Pension underpayments for two groups of women by the end of 2023. The groups affected are CAT BL and CAT D.
The Pensions Minister Laura Trott said the exercise should be completed by the end of this year, but it could run through to late 2024. The Daily Record reports this may be due to a further 100,000 State Pension cases which have been identified as having a possible underpayment.
