Thank you for your reply. It is very useful.

I submitted CF83 and was assessed to be qualified to make voluntary NI contributions from abroad. My birthday is not on 6th April (say on 3rd March) and I do not have 35 qualifying years for full state pension. (a) I would like to enquire if I make voluntary NI contributions for those months of the final tax year before my state pension age (i.e. from 5th April to the 3rd March of the following year), would it be accounted towards a full qualifying year on my state pension? (b) If not, can I make voluntary NI contributions for the whole tax year of my final tax year from 6th April to the 5th April of the following year (i.e. including those months from 3rd March to 6th April beyond my state pension age) in order to get a full qualifying year on my state pension? (c) Can I make voluntary NI contributions after I reached state pension year so that I can make up for a total of 35 qualifying years for full state pension?
