State Retirement Pensions
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, what her planned timetable is for updating her Department's website with information on the (a) 12-month State Pension arrears payment and (b) State Pension Claims Form.
Answered by Torsten Bell
Work to publish new guidance is well underway and we aim to have it published as soon as we can, subject to competing priorities.
With regards to the paper claim form changes, we are working to understand the value of updating given how few paper claims we now receive for State Pension.
