self employed

If you are self employed and have forgotten to pay some of your NI contributions do they let you know (as it will affect your pension) or do they just say hard luck when it comes to your retirement.

~Really in effect it should not affect your retirment pension as of todays rules you need only 30 years contributions to get a full pension.
Easily attainable through out a life time of work.

However, it will affect any benefits you may need to apply for in a couple of years time. ESA, job seekers etc.

Hope that helsp

Self employed only benefit from the basic state pension. Not the additional state pensions which dont accrue on class 2 NI but on class 1.
