The table below shows the total level of expenditure on Category D retirement pensions for each financial year from 2019/20 to 2026/27. The year-on-year change is also included in the table to show the fluctuations in total Category D expenditure over this period. The increase in outturn in 2020/21 relates to the Department\u2019s estimated liability due to underpaid Category D State Pension. The increase in forecast in 22/23 reflects the increased expenditure for the year in which it will be repaid to customers.<\/p>
