Which financial year does she reach state retirement - her forecast will state if you contribute before April 202X.She needs 8 more years to reach £185.15, 7 will take her to £183.83 at £5.29 each and the 8th will add another £1.32You can pay for 2023-24 onwards by direct debit https://www.gov.uk/pay-voluntary-class-3-national-insurance/direct-debitThere will also be back gaps which can be filled - are there any cheap ones ? These will have to be paid with a lump sum.How are her full years split pre and post 2016 ?Is there any COPE on her forecastThe precise detail is very important to her options.Does she look after grandchildren whist the parent works ?
