Yes, but the weekly option isn't offered when you claim online, but DWP will oblige if you phone them.
Choose the 'phone claim' option when you ring - even if you have already claimed online.

I was more interested in the years in advance option. Haha

and its paid in arrears

Strange..... Shirl turned 66 on 21st July and got 3 weeks pension paid in a few days later!

I get mine weekly on Monday(and earlier if there is a Bank Holiday).

I first claimed my 6-year-deferred pension 8 years ago, so the rules may have changed since then.

I now clock for £265 every Monday and I am well past the break-even point on the loss of the deferred part, so it is profits all the way from here - one of the best decisions I made. If I had got it wrong and died earlier would I have worried? I was lucky to defer when it gained 10.4% p.a., now dropped to 5?%

Martin gets his every 4 weeks but the first payment was for 3 weeks and 3 weeks after his birthday.

If you are entitled to more than the minimum under the new rules don't be surprised if they only pay the minimum for a while until they catch up with what you are entitled to (and especially if you have paid a lump sum rather than have NI deducted under PAYE).

Pappajohn. Perhaps your shirl was dueto gethers just before she 66 with her being a waspi?
