Hello, regarding voluntary National Insurance contributions: can you please advise how long the response from HMRC will take once someone has contacted The Pension Service and in my case the International Pension Centre? Thanks in advance.

I live abroad in the EU. I am already collecting my state pension. I am 66 years old. However, the pension I receive reflects the fact that I am one year short of the full state pension. I have two NI contribution gap years 2019-2020 and 2022-2023. Both of these are at the same amount of contribution. Is it still possible for me to pay for one of these years and if so how do I obtain a payment number to make the contribution? Thanks in advance.
