A Lotto Missing Payouts

Women set for pensions bonanza

- Ben Glaze

Women receiving as little as £1 a week for their pension could be owed sums equivalent to lottery wins, a former Pensions Minister revealed yesterday.

Ex-Lib Dem frontbencher Sir Steve Webb, now a partner at consultants LCP, said up to 5,000 women may be entitled to big refunds.

He said women he had helped recently included one who was entitled to £60,000 in back pension. Some women were until recently on pensions of only around £1 per week
