....and still the phone queues are impossibly long. Tried EVERY day this week so far.0

You need to pick a day, make a flask of tea and some sandwiches and hang on in there.0

I gave up on the phone in the end, printed off the forms, and have sent it off by post to the local office. I figured that it just might be the quickest way, especially as I had to send my marriage certificate anyway.0

...Didn't really want to entrust the paperwork to the postal system -but if I can't get thru on the phone next week ,may have to do the same.:(0 -
I paid to send it by tracked delivery. I hate sending original certificates but had no option in this case.0

When I completed the on-line forms it didn't require marriage certificates. Perhaps it picks up info from the tax databse where I have a part of her allowance?
I wonder when they ask for them and when they don't need them.0 -

You do need to ask as they will 4 weekly by default.
Used to be weekly or 4 weekly, has it changed?I am not a cat (But my friend is)0 -

Obviously a paper application can't take this into account so I assume they always ask to see them "just in case".0 -
Received my marriage certificate back yesterday and the letter promises to get it all sorted within ten days. Anyone else had any luck phoning?0

State Pension payment
arrangements
Four changes were made for people reaching State Pension age from 6
April 2010, for whom the State Pension and Pension Credit are paid:
In arrears, not in advance;
; Weekly, fortnightly or four-weekly (or at intervals of 13 weeks
where the beneficiary agrees);
On a payday allocated according to the final two digits of the
customer's NI number.
The timing of State Pension payments for people reaching State Pension
age on or after 6 April 2016 was provided for in the Pensions Act 2014
(Consequential, Supplementary and Incidental Amendments) Order
2015 (SI 2015/1985) (article 9). This inserted new regulations 22CA and
22DA into the existing claims and payments regulations:
Regulation 22CA specifies that the new State Pension is paid in
arrears, at intervals of one week, two weeks, four weeks, or 13
weeks, if the beneficiary agrees.
Regulation 22DA specifies that the new State Pension is payable
in respect of the period beginning on the day on which the
person reaches pensionable age or the first day in respect of
which the person makes a claim for their state pension. The first
payment is paid pro-rata, calculated at a daily rate, if the period it
covers (between State Pension age date and first payment day) is
less than a week. This eliminates the possibility of a payment
gap at the beginning of a claim.
"Four weekly" is the default ( and DWP preferred?) interval.
The new State Pension is usually paid every 4 weeks into an
account of your choice. You're paid in arrears (for the last 4
weeks, not the coming 4 weeks).0
