State Retirement Pensions

Question

To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, what steps she is taking to ensure the accuracy of state pension forecasts.

Answer

State Pension Forecasts are based on the National Insurance record at the time the State Pension Forecast is produced. If the National Insurance record changes subsequently this will affect the forecast. The DWP does not hold data in relation to changes to State Pension Forecasts following discrepancies being raised by customers. Where discrepancies are identified the DWP refers to HMRC for investigation.
