Thank you for your reply - can you advise which phone number I should call as I tried the general helpline and hung on for 61 minutes without getting through to anyone (0300 200 3300) and then I tried the Future Pensions Centre on 0800 731 0175 which I spent another 50 minutes waiting for without success. As you can appreciate I am getting somewhat exasperated in trying to get this answered so help speaking to someone would be greatly appreciated. Best regards,

I have 45 years of full NI contributions (details obtained from the pension forecast pages). I ceased employment at age 63. I will be 66 in Oct 2025 and will then claim my State Pension. The pension forecast indicates that I need to pay £750 for gaps in 2023/24 and 2024.25 (when I took my workplace pension). Why do I need to pay NI for these 2 years when I already have paid in full 45 years of NI? It would appear to me that I have already paid 10 years over and above the stated 35 years NI to receive a full state pension.
