For the first time since i started receiving my UK Government pension, it has not arrived in my bank account, I have already spoken to my bank who say i must contact the Pensions office which i have done. Now this has to be done by phone or email as i live abroad. The PO say replied to my email saying it will take up to 10 days to reply. My personal situation has not changed (no i am not in jail!!) at all, except for getting older and poorer! Surely if there was a change of any kind by the PO, they would notify me yes?
Has this happened to anyone who might be reading this? I wonder if someone has managed to divert it in some way. All kinds of nasty things are going thru my mind. Of course there might be a simple explanation like a delay of some kind along the line, but at 74 one tends to think the worst hahaha.
If you mean State Pension I don't know why it would be delayed, but if it is a civil service pension I found this:
Government’s flagship mutual, MyCSP, has failed to pay some retired civil servants their pensions on schedule, after a shift to bring its payment functions in-house hit an IT problem, the Guardian reported on Saturday. A fault in the new IT system “meant payments have been delayed to civil service pensioners living overseas".
