Tens of thousands of elderly female pensioners are set to miss out on life changing payments.
Tens of thousands of elderly female pensioners are set to miss out on life changing payments, the BBC has learned.
But only some women are being fully repaid. Others, like Mrs Carr, will only be able to claim for 12 months of missed payments. A former pensions minister, Sir Steve Webb, a partner at consultants Lane Clark and Peacock, first highlighted the problem and estimates more than 50,000 women will not be fully repaid.
He said: "Women who have lost out on twelve years or more of pension through no fault of their own should not be limited to twelve months of backdating." Mrs Chattell has dementia and is in a care home. The money is now helping to pay for her full time care.
