State Pension (UK) increase
State Pension (UK) increase
Has anyone received the notification letter that states the percentage increase to the state Pension? I usually get this around the end of February, however have had any notification so far this year.
All things are possible
Re: State Pension (UK) increase
Has it not occurred to you that the post from the UK to Cyprus is often very much delayed? Besides which, it is quite possible that the offices that send out the notifications may be understaffed because of coronavirus or even the common cold?
Re: State Pension (UK) increase
I am regularly getting post from the UK all in good time. That is not my question. The question was HAS ANYONE received the notification re the pension increase.

I have NOT received the notification letter that states the percentage increase to the state Pension.
Re: State Pension (UK) increase
ditto also Lincoln, receive other posts but not state pension increase, have done in the past but not this year, should be due as you say February.

Does this mean that we won't get our 2.5% increase without a confirmation letter, or will we?what worrying times we live in

Apparently it is going up by £4.40 per week. As for the letter, I have no idea. Perhaps there are not enough Staff in the office to press the print n despatch button!
Ticking away, the moments that make up a dull day.
Re: State Pension (UK) increase
Received ours (UK) yesterday but it does not state the percentage increase however some good news. Apparently next year at age 80 I will be paid an extra 25p per week
Re: State Pension (UK) increase
Think yourself lucky Jag it used to be whopping 10p

Re: State Pension (UK) increase
For those who are still interested the pension is going up by 2.5% this April. Civil service pension by 0.7% All this information is on google.
Re: State Pension (UK) increase
The above posts are reassuring for me as I was wondering if I was the only one who hadn't got the pension letter.

Quite by chance, in this mornings post was -a letter from The Pension Service telling me what my new pension rate was effective from 14th April!!
Re: State Pension (UK) increase
You will still get the raise, even if the letter is late or does not arrive at all

My memory says that previous letters from the DWP have always been posted from the Netherlands, I suppose the work was contracted out!
Re: State Pension (UK) increase

Re: State Pension (UK) increase
Stafffie- Out of interest was it postmarked from the UK or from a Dutch office?
