State Pension back payments as thousands owed up to £6,900 this year

Thousands of State Pension claimants could be owed up to £6,900 in back-payments, due to a Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) error.

Two groups of women are expected to receive the payments this year, reports Teesside Live. Those groups include married women who should have received an upgraded State Pension and those aged over 80

The DWP has confirmed that some payments should be sorted by the end of 2023, but also warned that people may not receive any money until later on next year.
