Which if memory serves isn't relevant to @badmemory

But every previous year the increase has started somewhere around the 10th to the 12th - this year it says the 6th - which would be a full tax year.

The increase in the state pension begins w/b the first Monday of the new tax year which happens to be the 6th April this year. When your increase begins depends on your payment day which I believe for you is probably a Monday.

No it won’t if he reached SPA before 6th April 2010.

Or they don't have a tax code 😉

My payment day is Friday & state pension age was 2006 aged 60 although i didn't take it until 2011. If I retired now my payment date would be Wednesday, just to confuse matters. They seem to have anyone with changes as Friday - so deferrment or in my mothers case inheriting from my father changed the payment date.

My tax code is something horrendous ending in K.

In that case your increase won’t start until the 11th April - ie your first full week after the increase begins to apply.

Many will have a K code. What deduction has been applied for the state pension?

True although badmemory apparently does have a tax code.

In my case my tax code is pretty much irrelevant as there is no way my private pension will ever be large enough to pay the amount due. At least this year I should not have to correct the simple assessment.

With the increase date being the 6th April then everyone should have 52 weeks this year surely.

Quite. Seems to be an awful lot of anxiety about something which will resolve itself, so maybe that's the message OP needs to pass on to reassure the worriers?
