I recieved mine today...2 week later than last year0

I would rather receive mine later than sooner because I'll only spend it! When it comes later it's better.
I always thought they did it alphabetically according to the year you retired but maybe that's wrong. My surname is towards the end of the alphabet and I've always received it after my friends whose surnames begin with C and H.
Still, it's a lovely bonus, I don't care when it comes! It usually does come, though, to be fair.Please note - taken from the Forum Rules and amended for my own personal use (with thanks) : It is up to you to investigate, check, double-check and check yet again before you make any decisions or take any action based on any information you glean from any of my posts.

They could be doing it by NI no. In which case mine could be a while as it begins with a Y

It's not done either alphabetically or by NI number - it's pretty much random I believe, as it just trawls through the non-indexed database..
