Hi , I am in receipt of my UK state pension , but do not get the full amount due to gaps in my contributions. I can see that some of my years with no contributions are in the range of those years  that have  been announced that people can buy them as a contribution year, am I also allowed to buy these years to boost my state pension, regards
David

    You may be able to buy more years but not all years will add to your pension. More information needed.
    Current weekly £££.pp pension amount
    Number of pre April 2016 NI years full
    Number of post April 2016 NI years full
    Tax year you reached state retirement
    Were you in a contracted out pension scheme
    Years which show not full and prices

    I have reported this thread to be moved to the pension board.
