The National Audit Office has confirmed the devastating blunders made by the DWP in a scandal we uncovered alongside our columnist, former Pensions Minister Steve Webb.
Around 2.1million Britons receive less than £100 a week in state pension payments, but there are a number of ways you can potentially boost your payouts now.
This is Money columnist Steve Webb says: Repayments of £3billion over the next five years imply huge numbers of women have been shortchanged
The cost of fixing underpaid women’s state pensions will be £3billion it has been revealed – and people wouldn’t be getting that money without the work of This is Money’s journalist Tanya Jefferies and columnist Steve Webb.
The £3billion figure slipped out among all the others packed into the Office for Budget Responsibility’s Budget report yesterday.
It highlights a colossal short-changing of state pensioners and I would urge our readers to check their pensions, if they are of an age to be affected, or encourage relatives or friends to look at theirs.
