Complete qualifying national insurance years

It is not a case of paying NI contributions of 52 times the LEL.

NI is calculated on earnings.

YES I DID

Then I fail to see what further explanation is required.

Perhaps you might telephone https://www.gov.uk/future-pension-centre

and ask for a personal explanation?

For ‘Class 1’ NICs, any tax year where you receive from one employment a minimum amount of earnings or credits (which you receive for example, if you cannot work because you are bringing up children who are aged under 12) can be a qualifying year. The 2018/19 tax year could be ‘banked’ as a qualifying year provided you have earned the equivalent of 52 x £116 (this amount is known as the Lower Earnings Limit) – total £6,032. You could also make up a qualifying year by, say, earning £116 for 40 weeks and then receiving NI credits for the other 12 weeks. But any pay periods in which you have earned under the Lower Earnings Limit will not count towards the total.

If your record shows that 2017-18 is a qualifying year but you feel that you have not met the criteria, then contact the Pensions Service to check your situation.
