Hello HMRC, I live abroad and my CF83 application to pay voluntary Class 2 NICs has just been approved. I have been in touch with DWP and I know which years to pay. I want to make a one-time payment to top-up several years that I missed while working overseas. Can you please confirm that the EARLIER years from 2006/7 will automatically be paid first from the payment that I send? I'm asking this because I only need to pay the 12 earlier years in order to reach the maximum pension. (apologies for copying from the previous post but it was very succinct!)
