State Pension forecast update
Due to unprecedented demand for our usually reliable service, some people have experienced delays in applying for a pension forecast.
We are doing everything possible to prevent further problems from occurring. We do have a telephone number you can contact for a pension forecast.
Our telephone lines are open 8am to 8pm Monday to Friday and 9am to 1pm on Saturday.
Our telephone number for the Pensions Forecasting Service is 0845 3000 168.
The Pension Service and HMRC have agreed that if a customer requests a pension forecast before 6 April, but receives the forecast later, we will accept payment of Class 3 National Insurance Contributions at the pre 6 April 2009 rates, if the payment is made within one calendar month of the customer receiving the forecast.
