Relatives of State Pension claimants who died could be due £8,900 from DWP

Here's what you need to know

Over 40,000 households across Scotland and the UK are expected to receive an average of £8,900 by reclaiming the underpaid State Pension payments of deceased relatives.

However, as reported by The Mirror, a large number of State Pension claimants passed away before they were given the money they were due. In response, the DWP has created a website that can help relatives find out if their family members were owed money.On average, the amount of money that is due is £8,900 per claimant, but some may be owed over £40,000. The DWP has warned, though, that only six out of 10 eligible claimants will be able to be traced through the website.

According to the DWP, if you have access to their National Insurance number, this will speed up the application process.
