State Pension Top Up - very very small shortfall

sjm436

I am 59 and have taken early retirement.  I don’t plan to work prior to receiving state pension.  My forecast is 18p per week short of the maximum.  All years complete since 2006.  

Not really a problem, I know!! 

Is there any payment I can make to gain the maximum state pension that is not £800ish?

Only if you have a part filled year available to top up.

Not a payment but:

Sign on and seek work until another year of NI is credited.  No charge.

Claim NI credits for looking after Grandkids nn hours a week to fill a year. No charge.

Both are far too much hard work (imho) for 18pence a week at some point around 7-8 years in the future that it's possible you may never live to see.
