Hi, I know I've written before about lack of communication from DWP re state pension.
I'm just wondering am I the only person that's still not had a letter re increase in state pension.
Thanks in advance

It could be on its way nana. Mine came on Tuesday, Mr C’s today. Friends we saw at the weekend have had theirs for a few weeks. The first letter of our surname made us wonder if they are sent out alphabetically.

Nope, I haven't had a letter yet. My surname is near the end of the alphabet so maybe that's why.

Nothing received here either.

Had mine weeks ago. Mr York still not got his, so I don’t think that it’s an alphabetical system! Maybe numerical linked to your NI number?

Got mine today - surname T.

I am younger than DH and got my letter weeks before him, My NI number is later in the alphabet. Thought I would throw that in the mix.

No letters here and we are at the beginning of the alphabet.

I just got mine this week.

Mine came a week ago.

No letter here either, usually much earlier than this.

NotAGran55 Fri 07-Apr-23 09:02:17

My letter is dated 28.1.23.
Start off the alphabet for my name and end of the alphabet for my NI number.

I got mine on Wednesday, surname T.

Oopsadaisy1 Fri 07-Apr-23 09:32:15

I’m the same as you notagran I’ve now lost the letter or misfiled it so I hope to be pleasantly surprised at the increase, or not.

Redhead56 Fri 07-Apr-23 09:37:39

Mine not arrived surname E

Aldom Fri 07-Apr-23 09:42:20

My letter came last week.

NotAGran55 Fri 07-Apr-23 10:06:38

Do the letters come from different places perhaps 🤔 ?

Mine was from Wolverhampton.

Maggiemaybe Fri 07-Apr-23 11:01:05

We haven’t had either of our letters yet. Leaving it a bit late, aren’t they?

It doesn’t matter much to us - we know more or less what we’ll be getting - but some people might need the information, and should have had it before now.
