I paid for one of my missing NI years in early April and I am wondering how long it might take for the increase in my pension. Has anyone received their increased pension yet?

    I'm not clear if you are saying that your State Pension is already in payment or if you are just referring to how long it will take for your forecast to be updated - can you please clarify ?
    The former will usually take a lot longer than the latter.

    If your pension is already in payment then expect months rather than weeks.  

    DWP are already maxed out with everything else that is going on, and completely unpicking an re-calculating a pension in payment is not a 5 minute job.

    We did ours in April they said 6 to 8 weeks.  My pension is later this year and was done in not much more than a week. Other half not due till next year, one week to go for 8 week point and not done yet.
  • Yes, my pension is being paid so I was asking how long it might take for the increase to appear. I gather it will be some long time.
