Just to report my own situation hopefully to give hope to others. I paid voluntary Class 3 NI on 10 Feb 23 to HMRC. I did send a follow up letter as a catch-all about a week ago but this week my NI record and revised State Pension forecast have been updated, so its taken about 7 weeks. Thank you for sorting this DWP/HMRC. Perhaps the new system update is speeding up the process.

Thanks for the reply. Yes, I checked yesterday and my NI record has been updated this week to include 2021/22

I want to investigate paying Class 3 NI contributions to top up my State Pension entitlement but I have been waiting for 2021/22 year to be included in my account/NI record so that I can include a top up for that year also. When is this expected to be updated? It currently says the record has not been updated yet and its approaching November 2022.
