DWP appeals to 200,000 parents to come forward after losing a large state pension

Hundreds of thousands of deaths are missing to retire costs £ 5,000 on average as the Department of Works and Pensions (DWP) agree to spend more money on the money we owe.

An estimated 194,000 affected by the matter, which recognizes their state pension – or in the future – due to the problem of keeping their own wrong records.

The error relates to the protection of local responsibilities (HRP), which was available between 1978 and 2010 for the child’s benefit or caring responsibilities.

The program reduced the amount of the Applicant required for a basic state of retirement in retirement, which means the number of years spent on the work and payment of secular insurance. This was an answer to their home related activities that had made them at all to work.

The HRP protection was intended to be automatically used for those who claimed the child’s benefit, and the most demanding their mother. However, DWP says that he sees 2021 that this would be hundreds of thousands of all the case, leading to the payment of £ 5,000 on average.

But in its latest year report, the Department has reduced the money set aside from £ 1.2bn to £ 29.8 million – Reduction of £ 1bn – should be able to fix the problem soon.

The report explains: “Redress HRP is a challenge.

“The number of people who are working to repair their lost HRP is low. Huge numbers did not respond to government to work in order to apply for the lowest levels.”

From autumn 2023, HMRC issued more than 370,000 books to people who affect them. However, in the year 2024/20, it was only 12,379 compensated. The year before this, it was just 419.

In response to lower taking, DWP decided to convert the compensation plan from a short temporary payment drive to the ongoing process. This means that those affected should face the time limit in what they have done, when the Department lasts many miles in a short time.

Anyone affected you can apply for HRP online or post. For those who need more information, HMRC’s National Insurance Wellpline can be reached in 0300,500.

Former Pension Minister Sir Steve Webb said: “The latest DWP report strikes more than 100,000 hammer to reduced pensions due to their national insurance errors.

“Government writing campaign was failing for failing, and this would be completely given to the credibility of the Internet’s complex Internet,” said LCP partner Telegram.

“Or there will be continuous continuous existence, annual reports are approved that the government himself does not expect these efforts apart.”

Government spokesman said: “We are determined to help people who have left out because of historical mistakes that are not their fault.

“That is why we have written specific than 370,000 of those affected and quiet the internet helping people to check if they need them to check.

“We have made a great awareness campaign for the matter and will continue to regularly communicate to enable people to evaluate their entire record.”
