Hi Teresa Carter,
I can confirm that you may pay for the 2022-2023 tax year after you start claiming your pension but your pension will only increase from the date that we receive your payment.  
It is possible to pay for the 2022-2023 tax year until 5 April 2029 but may be due at a higher rate if you pay after 5 April 2025.
Thank you.
