Pension credit increase

Hiya all - quick query. I’m 45 and have pension years all up to date. I’m expecting to be in work for the few extra years but is there anything I need to do to cover the top up thingy that ML has been advising is urgent? 
I pay into work place pension but not sure if that’s relevant!
Thanks in advance!!

    If by 'have pension years all up to date' you mean that all previous years in your NI record are full,  then no, there is nothing you can do to 'cover the top up thingy'.

    Have you obtained a State Pension forecast ?

    Looks like you are in a good position already.  I would not worry unless you change your work pattern so long as you are earning more than £130 per week in a single job
