Millions of people who claim Universal Credit could risk missing out on hundreds of pounds during their retirement due to "errors" in their National Insurance record.
An investigation by This is Money claims the system used by the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) to update National Insurance credits automatically has either "never worked" or has "been broken since 2018".
The website claims suggests some people on Universal Credit were instead having their state pension record "manually" corrected when they were within four months of turning the state pension age.
