HMRC will start contacting people who may have Home Responsibilities Protection missing from their NI record this month.
HM Revenue and Customs recently announced that it will start writing to thousands of older people this month who may have been underpaid their State Pension due to missing information on their National Insurance record. The issue affects mostly women in their 60s and 70s who may have Home Responsibilities Protection missing from their NI record.
Some people affected may have died and their families will be entitled to check their eligibility and make a claim for any arrears. Top Money Stories Today Helen Morrissey, head of retirement analysis at Hargreaves Lansdown, warns that it may be a ‘long process’ and ‘many people face significant waits before receiving what they are due’. She said: “The scale of the State Pension underpayments is staggering and has caused many thousands of people unnecessary financial distress.
Ms Morrissey warned: “There’s every chance many of those affected could continue to be overlooked and not receive what they are entitled to.”
