The DWP is due to start a large-scale write-out to parents – mostly women – who may be affected, starting this month
Those affected are those who made a claim without putting a NI number on their form as it is possible their credits may not have been transferred to their NI account. These credits were previously known as “Home Responsibilities Protection” or HRP.
The typical state pension arrears payment in these cases will be around £2,000, but because some people will be owed far more than this, the ‘mean’ payment will be around £5,350. Those receiving letters will be invited to put in a claim for HRP if they meet the relevant criteria. They will therefore be dependent on seeing general publicity and proactively putting in a claim. This may be particularly true where the person who was underpaid has since died and it is their heirs who would need to make a claim.
