We have set up a dedicated team and devoted significant resources towards completing the exercise, with further resources being allocated throughout 2023. In line with previous commitments to publish further Management Information related to the State Pension underpayments exercise around the time of fiscal events. DWP will be publishing the next update shortly.</p><p> </p><p>Overall, Official Error Underpayment rates for State Pension remain low, at 0.5% of benefit expenditure.</p> answering member constituency Sevenoaks answering member printed Laura Trott question first answered 24/11/2022 13:32:35 answering member 4780 label Biography information for Laura Trott previous answer version 36829 answering member constituency Sevenoaks answering member printed Laura Trott answering member 4780 label Biography information for Laura Trott
