Hope you've all done them. I used to do ours in October, working to the old deadline, but I let it slip again this year and nearly forgot.
What a performance. My government gateway login works, but not for self-assessment, for which I have to use 'verification'. I had digital verification set up with the Post Office, but last year it said they couldn't verify me so I set one up with Experian. This year, Experian said they no longer have enough info to confirm my identity so I set up yet another with Digidentity. That involved much entering of codes sent to my phone and email, scanning my passport and DL, and taking a selfie. I've just checked my SMS's and I have have 2 codes each from gov.uk and Experian, and 7 from Digidentity.
Then I find I have given them the wrong amount for my state pension, having used this year's pension increase letter by mistake instead of last year's. You're supposed to be able to change it even after submission, but you only get that option if you can sign in with government gateway.
So don't try to do it at 23.30 on the 31st.
