Married and widowed women over the State Pension age could be due over £10,000 in backdated payments, according to latest figures.
It comes as new data from the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) shows that £209.3 million in State Pension underpayments have been repaid to 31,817 pensioners. These payments have since been paid after the correction exercise began back in January 2021 and the end of October 2022.
Some of the people who have been underpaid include pensioners who were married and should have received an upgraded State Pension, people who were widowed as well as those over 80 years old.
