Year Not Full - Checking this year.

I have three years on my State Pension Forecast which are not full and state “We are checking this year to see if it counts towards your pension. We’ll update your record when this is finished, you do not need to do anything”. This message has not been updated in more than a year. I have attempted to write to HMRC for clarification of the situation but I have not received a response. I would like to make a voluntary contribution to fill these gaps. How do I do so when I am unable to find out the shortfall amount?

Hi,

The team that deals with missing National Insurance contributions are currently dealing with queries received in May 2023. You will need to wait about 42 weeks from the date that we received your query for you to receive a reply.  

You can contact our National Insurance team to make sure that we have received your letter and they can give you a more accurate date of reply.

Thank you.

How can we check if you received a letter relating to 2022-2023 this year is not full? I sent a letter stating my accountant had checked the system and it showed our payment of my ni contributions and still as at 8.3.2024 it is still saying still checking? I was told a few years ago that the system updates the ni records in December. I sent my letter dated 23.2.2024 I have also asked my accountant to log onto the agent's forum to try resolve this issue too.

Hi RevRy,

Thank you. 

I have the following issue: We are checking this year to see if it counts towards your pension. We'll update your record when this is finished, you do not need to do anything. This appears on 2 or 3 years of my NI records - I followed up years ago on this and yet my records still state the same. I have 32 full years and because some years still say they’re checking after 10 years of waiting, my contributions are short by 3 years. What else can I do?

Hi Pia,
To establish the correct National Insurance position I would suggest you request a pension forecast via Contact the Future Pension Centre
Thank you.
