150,000 pensioners receive letters from HMRC regarding a state pension error affecting women in their 60s and 70s, potentially entitling them to thousands in backdated payments.

150,000 pensioners receive letters from HMRC due to a state pension error, which could entitle them to thousands in backdated payments. The issue mainly affects women in their 60s and 70s who claimed Child Benefit between 1978 and 2000, and their National Insurance credits were not transferred correctly. HMRC is urging these individuals to check their correspondence for potential payments of around £5,000 each.
