Worth paying NI shortfall?

My son is aged 24 and has been in full-time employment since June, 2011.
He has received letters from HMRC relating to 2006/7 and 2007/8 when he was in p/time employment stating that he can opt to pay £67.95 and £374.40 respectively to enable these years to be counted towards his 30 year requirement (44 years apparently for bereavement benefits). He currently has three years which count towards basic state pension.
Can anyone give some guidance please?
Many thanks

It's hard to justify even £67.95 when he has at least 44 years to get to the 27 additional years. But perhaps just do that £67.95.0
