Hi all Just been looking at my pension forecast and am a bit confused I thought you needed 35 years to get full state pension, but I only have 29 and it says i need just 1 more to max it out Estimate based on your National Insurance record up to 5 April 2024 £219.79 a week Forecast if you contribute another year before 5 April 2042 £221.20 a week I have 3 full years of credits from my teens 1991-2 to 1993-4 Then a 4 year gap of non full years while at uni 1994-5 to 1997-8 Followed by 26 full years from working, Does that seem right that i only need 30 years to max out?

Hi,
Without being able to check your record we are unable to give a definitive reply, but from what you have said, that would appear to be the case. However HMRC cannot give advice on pension entitlement.  
You may wish to call the DWP future pension centre to clarify this, their number is 0800 731 0175  8.00am to 6.00pm Monday to Friday
Thank you.
