[holding answer 27 October 2008]: Our preliminary analysis suggests that somewhere in the region of 100,000 to 150,000 women may not be receiving their full entitlement to state pension because HRP has not been applied in the calculation of their state pension.The Department and HM Revenue and Customs have undertaken a scan of NIRS to identify the potentially affected cases. Work on the exercise to correct affected cases is currently at the detailed planning stage. The Department aims to start the exercise early in 2009.
