chasing missing contribution years

daz378

Hi , I asked recently for a national insurance statement showing qualifying years for my state pension, it said i have 23 qualifying years , but i noticed 98,99 and year 2000 missing (to late to contribute) however been in full time employment since 96 , i filled in the relevant section explaining the errors , even managed to find a wage slip from 2000. been waiting a few weeks , still no reply, what are my chances of getting credits for these years and how long before they decide? Although i have at least 20 years before i retire ...so no real rush:)
