State Pension forecast anomaly

I logged into my personal tax account this morning and the big green box has gone. The monthly and yearly pension figures have gone too, just the weekly figure remains. Some of the clunky wording has gone.

Yes, just checked that. Not sure why they've changed it, but it does look kind of simpler. Maybe it will help stop people only reading that top green box on the old format.

I thought i already had the full state pension accrued. Looking at the new layout it is far from obvious that this is still the case.

Seems clear enough to me .

Not in the least bit confusing

If it ain't broke keep on fixing it until it is !

We now need a screenshot from someone who is not there yet.

Here's mine, which has a third bar showing the current amount accrued.

So not quite as confusing as those who are already there.

I would say that is a definite improvement (for those not yet at the standard amount).

Wow, looks like some government webpage designer has been reading MSE forums.  The green box was OK but should not have been the first thing on the page, the caveats should have been above it. I think this is great.

Not if you have full state pension already. The old version was clearer in my opinion. It is obvious that i have the full state pension already. Having seen @greatkinrat ‘s version which has 3 lines of data instead of my 2, that probably helps.
