    “ I recently received my state pension forecast and according to their figures I had to work 40 years before I received a full state pension !


    I phoned up to request a printout of my national insurance contributions and each year showed paid in full

    DWP are a bit misleading when they say 'full years'. That just means full financial years - not full as in 'not contracted out'.

    Yep that will be why, seems I will get 2 years credit (not that I need them as I had 47 years already).

    You also may be entitled to the £200 winter fuel allowance - but you'll have to actually apply for it if you are not currently in receipt of any benefits.
    I am, but haven't got round to claim yet.
