You are going on the 100 year it seems. Have they updated their Register since March? A quick google isn't pulling anything up, nor a search of their Facebook page, so would mean opening every Whats New? weekly blog after https://www.findmypast.com/blog/new/1939-worthing-burials

The info on TNA suggests that death matching was done, but was that just pre-release for the period 1992-2006?
After 2006 they have no English GRO death index entries on their site [dataset runs to 2007 but eg there are only 233 Smiths vs >7500 for 2006/5], same cut-off on Ancestry. After that Findmypast just has the partial Greypower indices 'England & Wales Deaths 2007-2021' online, which Ancestry suggests may be about 55% of them.
The GRO's own online index does not have DOB's. So whilst they open records for people alive or dead transcribed with a DOB of now over 100, but currently redacted from view, I'm unclear how/if post 2006/7 death matching is done. I know GRO deaths are available on microfiche in a half dozen libraries, perhaps they have access to that data too? By 'notification of a death' and the delays I think NAI  mean after Death Cert submission to FindMyPast / FOI form.

Findmypast have checked the names and dates of birth in the 1939 Register against the General Register Office indexes of deaths in England and Wales and opened many records where exact matches are found. Furthermore, the records of individuals born 100 years ago (according to the date of birth shown in the Register) are opened at Findmypast.co.uk on a regular basis.
The version of the 1939 Register on Ancestry.co.uk is updated less frequently. Ancestry open previously closed records once a year, on average, and there is sometimes more than a year’s lag between the notification of a death and the opening of a record on their website.

The Register was updated until 1991, meaning that anyone who was born less than 100 years and a day ago but died prior to 1991 will have their record opened automatically.  If the person died after 1991, we can accept scans of death certificates...

My brother died in December 2020 - born 1933.   His previously redacted entry was opened by April 2021 on Ancestry so I was able to see he was evacuated & in another county

I have a family member born 1937, died 2021, still redacted on FindMyPast, probably because the family surname was mis-spelled in 1939.  It probably needs the death certificate sending to open it.

An aunt of mine born 14 March 1922 is still redacted on Ancestry, but was unredacted on FindMyPast not long after she would have turned 100 if she were still alive. The date of birth is correct and very clear on the form.

As far as I remember, FindMyPast update monthly, Ancestry update annually.
