    hi there and welcome to the forum I'm sorry sorry that you feel so scared for the phone call today but try not to worry and to keep us updated on the outcome of the phone call.

    I would also recommend that you visit the coffee lounge for a general chat or the games den for some fun.

    If you're under pension age and it's not paying you anything now, there's nothing to worry about

    It will only be relevant in 2037, but even then far from the end of the world

    Good luck 👍

    Heya @Oxymore as Mustang has said, there's nothing to panic about at all, the pension isnt relevant as it's not paying out. But you're totally free to let the DWP know about it if it will ease your mind a bit? 😁
