Please refrain from the horrible expression Robber Reeves.
I received my letter about 3 weeks ago it is a rise of 4.6% so it is easy to work out what your extra will be.

What a daft comment mae.

I haven’t received a letter either, frankly I’m not bothered. The increase will be paid. The call handler can’t press the wrong button and deprive you of your pension OP but you don’t need to chase it. It will happen automatically.

Wouldn't surprise me if Robber Reeves has diverted any pension increase towards the 22billion Black Hole she's been using as an all-purpose excuse to give pensioners a good kicking.....

I just feel very annoyed that I seem to be invisible. When I phone I get the details but no explanation except try change of circumstances. There are none !!

Hope you are not relying on a big increase. In my experience it will not buy a loaf of bread.

No letter here as yet - but really not bothered. There’ll be an increase - £30ish per 4 weeks, so not expecting any sort of surprise/shock.

I know I've posted about this before ,it's that time of year again.
As previously I've not received any letters regarding pension increase etc
Ive phoned several times about this.
My question is
Has anyone else experienced this?
I'm reluctant to pursue as scared if the call handler were to press the wrong button I will be without pension.
I have no faith. The only letter I received was the initial one,years ago , stating the initial amount.
Thus was after many phone calls as I never got the application firm and couldn't apply on line(long story, wouldn't verify me etc)
I get the same pension as my husband so know the amount.
Thanks for reading my rant.
