Is there somewhere I need to register to ensure that if the policy outlined in https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/tax-simplification-update-january-2024/tax-simplification-update-january-2024 happens then any payment that I make to fill the NI gaps (missing years) will be refunded back to me? I am in the unfortunate position when, like many others in this forum I am being asked to pay for my missing years to increase my pension by April 2025 but the policy to amend those gaps for people who were responsible for childcare will only be done retrospectively in April 2026! Please clarify, thank you.

I'm in the same boat, very difficult to understand what to do with regards to paying the full amount to fill the gaps when we should be receiving these NI credits.
