How long does it take for voluntary NI payments to show on record

I'm just curious as to how long it takes for paid voluntary contributions to show on your NI record and how long after that does your pension forecast get updated? When I paid I asked and she just gave me a vague "few weeks".

I paid contributions on a Friday and checked a week on Monday later and the figures had been updated.
Things that are differerent: draw & drawer, brought & bought, loose & lose, dose & does, payed & paid0 -
I made 2 payments, 12 and 6 months before my SPA. I used the on-line payment method, quoting an 18 digit pay reference. They each took about 6 weeks to show on my records.
However, seems things are taking longer now due to the number of people trying to make payments before 5 April, when the door to making good pre 2016/17 gaps closes.

Is the NI record and the pension forecast updated at the same time?0 -
They say six weeks, however if you give it a few days once payment has gone through, call up HMRC (ideally 8am mid-week) and ask them to allocate the funds to the year. Then it should be updated very quickly."No likey no need to hit thanks button!":pHowever its always nice to be thanked if you feel mine and other people's posts here offer great advice:D So hit the button if you likey:rotfl:1

Phoned and got 18 digit ref number last week and made online payment. Was told 6 weeks to show on record.0

HMRC said today that they are currently allocating payments made in September 2022, so don't panic yet.0

I was originally told 6 weeks, but when I phoned after 7 weeks I was told it was taking up to 12 weeks. However because I phoned the found the payment and applied it there and then, so best to phone if you have been waiting a long time, and phone at 8am if you don't want to be on hold for ages.1
