DWP annual increase state pension letter?

DWP normally sends out a letter confirming new state pension amounts applicable from April each year and is usually received by now.

Have people received theirs, or are some still waiting?

I think it's late - but maybe there's a delay this year?

    I've not received any notification but my wife received hers weeks ago.  I have had a letter from HMRC with my tax code and the breakdown of the various pensions I receive.  That shows the increased State Pension.

    I think they are having some issues this year with these types of letters. I've seen a few people in various places not having received anything yet. And last week quite a few PIP letters went out with £0.00 amounts on them, both in the currently receiving space and the new amount one, which caused a fair bit of panic to many as you can imagine!
