Checking my state pension forecast online

Outeast1000

I check my state pension forecast on Gov. UK every year and the amount of £ £ £ i will get when i claim  it always used to come up on a green background . I reached state pension age 2 months ago now when i check  my SP  forecast it does not let me know how many £ £ £ i will get when i claim it which will probably be in  November i have a good idea how much i will get but i want to be certain 

My question is how do i find out how much  £ i will get when i do claim it when i can not see it on Gov.UK

How much State Pension had you accrued when you last checked?

The forecast shows what you will get when you reach your 66th birthday (or whatever the pension age is for you).  If you want to defer until November then see:

that is because you  have reached pension age. It expects you to claim the pension at that point. If you choose to defer then you need to do the calculations from your final figure

It's another aspect of the creaking state pension system where 'they' haven't thought through all the use cases properly. Sadly all you can do is either get annoyed or just accept it and move on to worry about something else.

Curious to know, if a person has reached the SP age but has deferred, would/should they then get the letter like those that have retired and are claiming the SP get, hence the reason for not being able to see the accumulation? I cannot remember if I got a letter the first year or only after it was in payment for a year.

Still  AFAIK nobody has answered my question 

Next April how or where do i find out how much £ £ £ i will get per week AFAIK the last time i was able to check my state pension forecast on Gov.UK  last January it said £145 per week

Once you are past SPA the forecast data is removed from your on line tax account as it is no longer valid.  If you want to know how much you would receive you need to contact DWP to get the information as it needs to be recalculated, it is not available on line.  Not sure if it is PS or FPC though once in deferral, I think likely still FPC.

Have you looked into increasing that amount ?

Your estimate to 5/4/23 was £145 a week and you reached SPA in January 2024?

Your £145 should increase by 8.5% for 2024/5.

With regard to deferral

By how many weeks do you plan to defer?
