Christina Hood, 80, lost her husband last August and his state pension stopped
She failed to receive a rise from £87 to £209 a week for half a year
Her son raised the alarm with the DWP in December, but nothing happened
This is Money intervened and she received a £3,800 backpayment in March
This could have hit £130,000 if the DWP s mistake remained undiscovered for 20 years - like the two other widows cases we highlighted

I was wondering whether you could provide me with some advice regarding a pension issue that has arisen at my workplace.
I started working for my company last year, but due to a delay in it giving me relevant paperwork, I recently discovered to my shock that my employer had not auto-enrolled me in the company pension scheme and as such had not paid any employer contributions.
I had also not made any contributions either, with the associated loss of the 1 per cent pension tax relief.
Dilemma: My employer hasn t enrolled me in a pension scheme, and I m worried to report it in case I lose my job

A full 2008-21 backpayment is worth £45,604 in such cases, says Steve Webb
Payments stretching back beyond 2008 could be worth a lot more
Carole Davies, on pennies a week when she retired, was entitled to £56,000
