Full list of older women on State Pension due DWP back payments of up to £12,486

The Department for Work and Pensions has published an important update on progress of the State Pension Underpayments Legal Entitlements and Administrative Practice exercise. The latest figures 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.

Commenting on the update, Helen Morrissey, head of retirement analysis at Hargreaves Lansdown, said: "Progress is being made to rectify the large-scale issue of state pension underpayments, but it is very slow. Just over £571m has been returned so far but with estimates suggesting the scale of underpayments could be around £1.5bn there’s still a very long way to go.
