Released On: 06 Mar 2021 (Available for over a year)

The transcript, half way through the programme...

On Wednesday the DWP revealed that 200,000 women could be in line for payouts averaging £13,500 to compensate them for the underpayment of their state pensions going back decades. The DWP estimate the bill to be about £2.7bn. Paul talks to Sir Steve Webb, former Pensions Minister and current partner at Lane Clarke & Peacock who explains why some pensioners lost out and who is likely to benefit now.

The calculator Steve Webb mentions during the interview is available from the link on the BBC sounds website.
