    I received mine about 3 weeks ago, and my husband's arrived a few days later.

    Rang Swansea yesterday & they are still working their way through sending them out & all they could say is I should get mine by the end of march. I guess it could be an alphabet thing & mine surname is R.

    Perhaps it is something they could consider not doing any more
  • We both got ours last Thursday. Our surname begins with S.

    My wife's increase will be all of the grand amount of £1.53 a week WoWWWW!! Not quite the price of a large loaf of bread.

    Go to Lidl. Large Hovis loaf 99p, so that's one and a half large loaves your wife can afford. Or Asda or Iceland, large Warburtons loaf £1, so she could still afford one and a half loaves from there!

    Just another example of how MSE can make your money go further.

    On a more serious side, your wife can't have paid too much into her National Insurance Fund if her pension increase is only £1.53. My increase is more than £5. Those who don't pay much in can't expect to get much out. So why complain?
