    You should have received an invitation letter about 2-3 months before you reached state pension age. This will have told you how much State pension you qualified for.
    It's unfortunate that this didn't arrive, but it's a common problem; there are plenty of threads on these forums about missing letters.
    All you can do now is wait for DWP to get back to you, unless you want to try calling them and asking when your pension will be paid and how much you're getting?
