The DWP has published updated progress on its correction exercise to fix historical State Pension errors.
The Department for Work and Pensions has published a new update on progress of the State Pension Underpayments Legal Entitlements and Administrative Practice exercise. The new figures published on March 21 show that 97,016 people over State Pension age - mostly women - have received back payments averaging £2,192, £5,713 and £12,486, depending on their pension category.
State Pension Underpayments LEAP exercise In 2020, the DWP became aware of a number of individuals who had not had their State Pension increased, in accordance with the law, automatically when this should have occurred. This prompted the Department to take action to investigate the extent of the problem.
The Basic State Pension is currently worth up to £156.20 each week and the New State Pension up to £203.85.
