If you have claimed your New State Pension online, use the GOV.UK service or the details in your confirmation message to check your claim’s progress. You can also contact the Pension Service for an update, particularly if you applied by post or cannot use the online service. The Department for Work and Pensions will confirm whether your claim has been accepted, the amount payable and your expected payment date. Processing times can vary, so check the latest guidance on GOV.UK.
