Thousands of women in their 60s and 70s could be due extra State Pension and an arrears payment.
The Department for Work and Pensions has confirmed that payments averaging around £5,000 have started being issued to women who have been underpaid their State Pension due to missing Home Responsibilities Protection and Universal Credit National Insurance issues. Average underpayments of £3,000 have also been identified for pensioners who have since died.
Mr Maynard's comments came after Labour MP Dame Angela Eagle asked about the average value of State Pension underpayments being identified. He continued: “In the Department’s Annual Report and Accounts 2022-2023, the central estimate value of an underpayment was £5,000 for alive cases above state pension age and £3,000 for deceased cases. We intend to publish an update on the exercise in this year’s Annual Report and Accounts.”
The Basic State Pension is now worth up to £169.50 each week and the New State Pension up to £221.20.
