Over one million pensioners were underpaid a staggering £530 million last year because of mistakes by government officials, new analysis has revealed.
Processing errors meant just over 10 percent of all State Pension cases had underpayments, impacting around 1.3 million pensioners, the Daily Express reported this evening (April 30).
The average amount underpaid was more than £400 per person and came at a time when many people were struggling with the cost of living crisis.
