The DWP and HMRC are working together to correct State Pension underpayment errors caused by missing National Insurance credits.
HM Revenue and Customs recently announced that it will start writing to thousands of older people this Autumn who may have been underpaid their State Pension due to missing information on their National Insurance record. The issue affects mostly women in their 60s and 70s who may have Home Responsibilities Protection missing from their NI record.
If someone was underpaid but has since died, their next of kin would need to make a claim - find out more about this on GOV.UK here. The National Audit Office , which scrutinises public spending for Parliament, previously said it is estimated that 210,000 people have been underpaid £1.3 billion of State Pension due to historical issues relating to HRP. But it said the estimate from the DWP is “very uncertain” and could range from £310 million to £1.5 billion.
Sir Steve, who is now a partner at consultants LCP said: “It is truly shocking that so many people have been underpaid because of errors on their National Insurance record for time at home with children. It is even worse that tens of thousands of people, mostly mothers, died without ever receiving the correct State Pension.”
“Most people’s records will be unaffected, and we have launched a new online tool to help people check whether they need to claim. HMRC will also begin writing to those likely to be affected this Autumn.
