NI years are now full, existing OAP, when should I expect my monthly payments to reflect this?

Having paid to complete gaps in my National insurance Record all NI years I needed to receive a full pension are now showing as full on my NI record. I have been receiving my state pension since December 2024. When should I expect my monthly payments to increase to reflect the additional years?

    Your NI record now needs to go to the pension people for them to (manually) calculate your new pension amount and effective uprate start date so likely several more months, it is not simply push the button and it all happens instantly, as they are still working through the huge backlog.
