UK government checks pensions for underpayments, aiming to compensate over 370,000 state pensioners.

The UK's DWP and HMRC are sending out letters to over 370,000 state pensioners, mostly women, to check their pensions for potential underpayments. The average back payment due to historical errors is £7,859. An online tool was launched to help pensioners fill gaps in their pension records, but some users have faced issues. The government aims to resolve these issues and ensure back payments are made by year-end.
