The Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) has said that it expects to complete the correction exercise into State Pension underpayments for two groups of women by the end of next year.
The Pensions Minister said the exercise for those on CAT BL and CAT D should be completed in 2023, but could run through to “late 2024” These two groups include married women who should have received an upgraded State Pension and those aged over 80.
The latest figures from DWP show that £209.3 million in State Pension underpayments have been repaid to 31,817 pensioners since the correction exercise began in January 2021 and the end of October 2022.
The latest report also shows that arrears payments made to affected married women average £6,929 and for those over 80, £3,172.
