More than 13,000 pensioners owed refunds by HMRC - but you need to apply for it

Thousands of pensioners have been handed back £42million in the past four months due to being overcharged by HM Revenue & Customs (HMRC).

The cash is being handed back because HMRC overcharged 13,000 people for accessing their pension pot between September and December last year, and were hit by massive tax bills averaging £3,230 each.

These people then made claims against HMRC for the money.
