  • RE: National Insurance Record

    Hi,
    Without checking your National Insurance records we are unable to confirm why the 3 years of credits are no longer shown in your current forecast.
    You would need to contact our National Insurance team to discuss this with an advisor.
    National Insurance: general enquiries
    With regards to your query about your French pension, we can confirm that if the French authorities have requested information from HMRC relating to your National Insurance records, all credits would be included in any response issued to the French authorities. However, we cannot confirm how they take these credits in to account when they calculate your entitlement to a French Pension.
    You would need to contact them to find this out. The International Pension Service may also be able to provide you with information relating to your French Pension.

    Thank you.

  • RE: State Pension Contribution Gaps

    Hi,
    HMRC cannot advise on whether paying voluntary National Insurance Contributions (NICs) will increase your UK state pension (UK SP)entitlement.
    You must contact the Pension service part of DWP to request a pension forecast. If you have already received this information the forecast should advise you which years will increase your UK SP entitlement.
    We can confirm however if you reach State Pension Age (SPA) before 06 April 2027 you cannot pay NICs for the full tax year of 2026 to 2027 as the total paid would not total 52 weeks. It could be that the 2025 to 2026 will be your final year to pay Voluntary NICs. Again the Pension service part of DWP will be able to confirm this to you.
    This would not be the case if you are currently employed or registered as Self Employed as you will continue to pay Class 1 and 2 NICs until you are UK SPA.
    Thank you.
