Oh, I see, thank you. Will definitely make a note to check gov website again in June.

Sometimes the records are not updated that quickly, so don't worry if it does not have the info to 2023 at that point.  Mine took until October one year but it will get updated, so just be keeping checking back...

If you plan on working a further 10 years you do not need to  worry.

I do, yes. At least it’s good to know I’m on track and don’t have to buy any years back or rush to beat the April deadline. I’ll still watch Martins pension programme tomorrow evening, but without the sense of dread.

It also says ‘like most people you were contracted out of part of the state pension’. I have no idea what this means and if that changes the overall forecast ( in big bold numbers at the top) that my forecast is £185.15 in 2033?

So that means that you will have another pension somewhere?
You can also qualify for NI via childcare responsibilities

Thanks sevenhills, yes I realise that now. I wish it stated  that though in clear terms instead of how it’s worded…..it would help simple folk like me! 😀
Am so glad I started this thread and have had so many knowledgeable people help me.
