UK Pension Scam

[Southerngooner]

It didn't sound like a scam to me, so glad to hear it's turned out OK!

I'd be quite happy to be scammed whereby they pay me money. I really need that Nigerian prince to come up with the goods

The question I would ask is 'did I send a state pension claim to the DWP?
From my memory of this, it was up to me to claim my state pension following receiving a letter, not a text, from the DWP to my home address.

I can confirm this still happens. I received a letter today, but my pension won't start for another four months or so. I've claimed online, but will no doubt have forgotten doing so by the time the payments start.

I received a letter of explication from DWP today.

I became eligible for a pension when I turned 66 a year ago.

This month I received 2 payments - a big one, for 1 year's arrears, and a smaller one corresponding to the regular monthly allowance.
