Check your NI contributions for state pension entitlement

[thebesh]

Saw this YouTube video last night =

Basically, if you have gaps in your NI contributions, there is a window of opportunity to fix some of the years that aren't counting as full years.
Use the following link If you want to check your NI insurance contributions over the years and if you are on track to receive the full state pension at retirement age
Check your National Insurance record

Mines up to date, think you only need 25 years to qualify. Got some years with gaps, but they can whistle for that. Let's see if I make it to the finish line. Probably move the finish line by then.

Can anyone explain why I still won't get the full pension after over 40 years of full NI contributions?
I know it's only 7 quid but it's bothering me!

 

[plasterer]

I haven't got 40 years and I qualify for full pension, so not sure mate. How long befor you reach 66, I've still got 12 months to go, but mine won't go up even after paying 12 more months NI
I think it's about £186 quid each year to catch up, for people with missing years who are approaching state pension age.... Paul

£186 is class 2, yes once you have contributed over 35 years you will gain nothing more.

Willo give them a bell , you may have contracted out but if it says full contributions could be a computer error.

When I was about 17 plastering then also, our boss came in asked if we wanted to go into a pension called Serps. Told him to leg it.
It's free he says.
Wot are we waiting for I say, sign me up, 45 years later, it paid me out £12000.Never cost me a penny, and hasn't affected me state pension. Don't even know or care wot it was, nice though.... Paul
