Hi ABCDE2024_1,
I am afraid this is a decision we cannot make for you.
I can advise that generally speaking, until 5 April 2025, you have the opportunity to pay NICs voluntarily for years from 2006-07 onwards.  
If you are not close to state pension age, and anticipate commencing work outside of the UK ‘relatively soon’ you may wish to wait to submit your application.
Thank you.

Hi enyaps1,
I am sorry that your payment has not been allocated as you instructed.  
To rectify this, you will contact the National Insurance helpline . Lines are open 8am – 6pm Monday to Friday.
Alternatively you can write to us at
HM Revenue and Customs
National Insurance Contributions and Employer Office
BX9 1AN
Thank you.

Hi Heidi,
Until 5 April 2025, you have the opportunity to pay NICs voluntarily for years from 2006-07 onwards.
There is no option to pay NICs prior to the 2006-07 tax year
Thank you.

Hi Jedcol,
Without being able to check your record I am unable to give a definitive reply.  
Can I suggest you contact the National Insurance helpline . Lines are open 8am – 6pm Monday to Friday.
Or write to us at 
HM Revenue and Customs
National Insurance Contributions and Employer Office

Thank you.

Hi Jedcol,
Pension entitlement is calculated by DWP, based on the NI collected and recorded by HMRC.  
HMRC can tell you what you are obliged to pay and also what you can pay voluntarily, but I am afraid we cannot advise how the NICs you have paid will impact your pension entitlement, nor can we comment on the amount you will receive or even confirm if the maximum payable you have quoted is correct.
Your wife will need to speak to the future pension centre on  0800 731 0175  (8.00am to 6.00pm Monday to Friday) to establish if she can improve her entitlement
Thank you.


 

Hi Franky,
It can take 6 weeks for a payment to be processed and appear on your national insurance record.
Please ensure with your bank the funds cleared to HMRC and if it has been over 6 weeks, please contact the overseas
National insurance helpline and they can investigate this for you.
Please ensure you have all the necessary information when you call the helpline.
Open - Monday to Friday: 8am to 6pm Closed on Saturdays, Sundays and Bank Holidays
Thank you.
