The State Retirement Pension and extra NICs

The "deficiency notices" were always a bit hit and miss and when the old NIRS system was replaced with NIRS2 in the 90s the resulting chaos saw the end of these. I have a feeling that there was a fight between Accenture (Andersen Consulting at the time) over whether they were ever contracted to do this.
Of course if we had ever got a regular statement of NI contributions this would not be an issue!
Ah, the efficiencies of "contracting out". When I got my deficiency notices in the 1980s I paid them if I had spare cash, but also ignored a couple. Looking back on my online NI record I was surprised to see how many contributions I had from the sixth form years and university years, it was a nice surprise.“So we beat on, boats against the current, borne back ceaselessly into the past.”0 -

Until 2010 (when the qualifying years for a full state pension was reduced), everyone was automatically creditted with the years they turned 16, 17 and 180 -
I have just made a payment to HMRC to top-up a years worth of NIC, how long will it take to show on my online state pension estimate?0
