DWP aims to award State Pension claims within 10 workings days of the date in which the customer chose their claim to commence.

On the occasions when a customer is dissatisfied with the service provided by the Department, the DWP complaints procedure includes the provision for a special payment to be made for any delays which may have occurred.
