Apologies you are correct
I just checked
25 paid
13 where I haven't contributed enough and 13 years ahead 

How much have your 25 years accrued?

£145 per week at pension age

In which case you need a further 11 years to reach £203.85.

Although the final year would only add the last 60p/week so not as much of an issue as the first 10.

Yes I planned to start paying ni contributions for the next 10 years from April but makes sense for me to work 12 hours a week instead of 8 and be covered by ni credits

Working an extra 4 hours a week does sound like the simplest solution, if you don't mind the extra work!
