Paying national insurance gaps

I received my state pension in September 2018 I had 35yrs contributions I didn’t get the full amount because I was contracted out . I can pay voluntary contributions for 2006/2007 and 2007/2008 it would be just over £400 to do this but would it make any difference my pension thanks

    I'm afraid not.  You had 30 + years as at April 2016, so only paying for 2016/17 and  2017/18 (if they are empty)  would add to your pension
