I only discovered recently that you have to apply for the State Pension, I suppose I thought that it just happened.
So I did, as I'm within the permitted time frame.
I was quite proud of myself that I finally got all the digital identity stuff sorted, and the application submitted.
Today I got an official invitation to apply, with a unique code. It's dated the same day as I applied, so I assume it's an automatic response.
I hadn't really expected to hear anything until nearer the date (April), and I thought the online application was The Application, so I'm a bit confused.
Also the unique code doesn't work.
There is a helpline number to ring but I think I'll leave it until Monday, rather than talking to some poor, tired, end-of-the-week soul.
I wondered if there's anyone who's done it recently who could talk me through how it works?
Thank you.
