NI Cat C (top line) means over State pension age, so no NI is payable. Your dad must have reached 65 earlier that year, hence the £45.12 balance.

More worrying is the absence of company pension contributions. Can you find any earler payslips? Some pension schemes didn't permit contributions over State pension age.

mum was already 60 in june earlier that same year so guess thats why cat c ni, as dad was still 63 so under 65 at this point

It does like your mum may not have been in the pension scheme, then. Which just leaves your dad - any sign of any of his payslips?

his state pension seems to be 'average'

Your father retired from BAE and started to receive his state pension around 2002?

What does his Statement of Benefits show for Additional State Pension?

It would seem that your father was contracted in to SERPS.
