New state pension forecast question

Sunnylifeover50plan

Morning. When I log onto the government portal and view my state pension forecast it provides an estimate of what I should receive and also that I need to make 4 more years contribution in order to receive the full new state pension.
If I then check my NI contributions it shows I have 34 years full contribution from when I started work in 1985/6 and that I have one year where I have only a partial years contribution for which I can can pay £150 to get it to full.
Is it true that I need 35 years full contribution in order to receive the full new state pension and if so why does the website suggest that I have to make 38 years in order to qualify?
TIA

No it isn't true.  Where have you read that?

You are not under the new rules, you are under transitional rules.

There is an explanation on gov.uk under the "How it's calculated" section.

In short, the 35 years that everyone quotes is for people starting work after 2016.  As your work life crosses over 2016 then you are treated differently.  I too have four years stated on mine, which will take me to 47, which I can't really argue about.
