This question was answered on 7th February 2017
State Pension statements explain that they represent an estimate and not a guarantee of an individual’s State Pension. Around 4.6% of customers contact DWP each month querying the amounts shown in their State Pension statement. These are investigated and if appropriate a revised statement is issued or can be viewed online.
