Your HRP Case: The Stages
- Acknowledgement and evidence check.
- Formal lodgement with the correct team.
- Review window with potential queries.
- Decision, NI update, and any arrears processing.
How We Track & Nudge
We log submission references, diary-review timelines, and query deadlines. Our team nudges where appropriate while avoiding duplicate submissions that can slow processing.
What Speeds Things Up
- Clean, readable scans (dates and names visible).
- Year-by-year annex with consistent evidence codes.
- Fast replies to any questions we relay.
Common Delay Triggers
- Missing claimant evidence for certain years.
- Unlinked name changes or address gaps.
- Generic statements without date-anchored documents.
Tip: The clearer the annex and the faster the replies, the quicker the decision.
Case Study
Example: A client received a query on two years. After supplying a Child Benefit letter and a GP note with dates, both years were credited and arrears were paid.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How long will it take?
A: Straightforward cases can complete in weeks; complex histories can take longer depending on evidence.
Q: Will my pension change immediately?
A: The NI record updates first; your State Pension forecast follows. Arrears are paid separately if due.
Q: What if DWP/HMRC ask questions?
A: We’ll guide you. Reply quickly and reference document codes from your annex.
Q: Can I top-up Class 3 now?
A: Wait until HRP decisions are reflected on your NI record, then review remaining gaps.
