I have been living and working in the UK as a EU citizen for the last 7 years, and I have settled status. Du to my partner's (UK citizen) ill health, I am considering early retirement and, temporarily, live from our private pension. I am also aware that, to qualify for a minimum state pension once reaching normal pension age, I need to have contributed for at least 10 years. Would it be possible, as a non-UK citizen but with settled status, pay voluntary NI contributions for the next couple of years to reach those 10 years?
