State Pension Top Up - very very small shortfall

Posts: 4 Newbie
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.1
