The debacle over widespread errors in the state pension that This is Money and Sir Steve Webb uncove
The debacle over widespread errors in the state pension that This is Money and Sir Steve Webb uncovered, continues.
As of the end of October last year, DWP had paid out just under half a billion pounds to more than 80,000 people who’ve been underpaid.
But what about those who have died? This week, Tanya Jefferies, Lee Boyce, Angharad Carrick and Georgie Frost reveal the case where a letter was sent to the daughter of an 100 year-old man three years after he passed away, stating he had been unpaid state pension for two decades.
Yet, despite the letter – months later, she was left hanging on what the DWP was actually going to do about it.
And still on the state pension front, people continue to complain of top-ups chaos as the Government gets ready to launch a new online service next month.
Sir Steve is calling on DWP and HMRC to get in more staff.
You don’t need HMRC to have more staff to answer your call, oh no! You just need to be a VIP.
Apparently there is a helpline, also known as Public Department 1 (PD1) which answers calls nine times quicker. We explain more.
On the savings front, the FCA is launching a campaign to encourage savers to shop around – and if you rushed to sign up for a one-year fixed-rate cash Isa this time in 2023, Lee explains why you must act.
Optional and mandatory service charges at hospitality venues – Georgie, Ang and Lee give their verdict.
And finally the price of bitcoin jumped beyond $60,000 this week. What’s behind the latest cryptocurrency surge?
