How long for NI Voluntary Contributions to take effect

Posts: 2 Newbie
I am 65 and 5 months, received my state pension 6th May 2019 and I am due for the first 4 weeks backdated instalment on Friday. Over 8 weeks ago made 3 years of National Insurance Class 3 Voluntary Contributions to increase my pension to the max available.
I have not heard anything since, my pension forecast on the Govt Gateway is no longer available to me (I assume because it considers I am in receipt of my pension) and my pension payments are still based on a previous forecast before NI VC's.
In the experience of others on this forum, how long does it typically take for the NI VC to feed through to a pension uplift?

They do take a bit of time. I would imagine there is a big backlog because the time to pay was extended and this extension ended in April.
Phone their helpline. They are normally quite good.0
