Have any of our pensioner members actually had their letter from the DWP with details of the pension increase for 2022/23 - it has usually arrived by about now, but no sign yet of either of ours yet.

I can work out what my pension will be by back-calculating from my new Tax Code , but I'd like to have the official version.

Is there any way of accessing the information online - I can get all my HMRC business done via their website, but can't see how to access the DWP other than for the initial claim of a pension?

Cheers SDx

OK - thanks - must just be luck of the draw when they send them.
We've had our Dave and once again I am annoyed that Mr T get more state pension than I do.

Quite so Tilly - I have a good grrr when reminded that Gness gets more than me ...
you will probably get an increase which will not enhance your life I'm sure of that.
's irritating isn't it?
They're taking their time this year as still not had mine yet. Usually get it in the second half of February.
It won't be much, a couple of quid for half a pint of Guinness a month....
Be more than that for me DTC - just! I paid extra into SERPS for 18 years which initially doubled my pension. But because SERPS' increases have not equalled SP increases it is now worth only about 50% of the SP.
They don't tell you that when you're paying the extra money in. Swines:-(

Thanks everyone - still nothing here yet.
yeah - Nil
one of the ones who opted out of S2S ( had to with a private pension)

I dont think they have ever got it wrong
Still not had mine yet. Anyone else still waiting?
Mine is through two days ago and then they have the nerve to strip away a credit under dispute from Covid even though the results of an appeal haven't come through - have challenged it it and they have very substantially reduced the 'lift'.....annoying though.
I reckon they must have forgotten me boo hoo. I've never had to wait this long before.
no letters here yet
I was surprised this year how early mine came ! It was weeks ago and I remember thinking 'wow, that's early'. I would normally expect to be hearing any time now. lb - I'm sure you'll hear very soon.
yup nil increase
I've no idea how they do it. Whether it's all done at one DWP office or different areas.
Oh well it's something to look forward to LOL.
