HMRC has started writing to thousands of people who could be missing out on their full state pension entitlement due to an error in their national insurance records.
There could be a huge number of people entitled to a larger state pension The Money Saving Expert has warned hundreds of thousands of people could be owed a significant sum in underpaid state pensions. Martin Lewis says the warning mostly affects women aged 66 and over who took time off work for childcare reasons at some point between 1978 and 2010. He’s warned people not to bin a letter from HM Revenue and Customs which will soon drop through their letterboxes – as it definitely isn’t a scam.
‘You’ll be asked to check whether you were eligible for HRP between 1978 and 2010, which you can do online. ‘If the checker says you’re eligible, you’ll be able to submit your claim online and HMRC will update your national insurance record, which may increase your state pension payments. ‘You can also claim via post, but you’ll first need to fill in a form on Gov.uk, which you can then print and send off.
