    Do you have access to your on line tax account ? If so how many full years pre 2016 and how many post ?
    If you have any NI gap years from 2016-17 onwards you should definitely be able to fill them for around £800 per year.  Likely pre 2016 years will also be available

    Never associate with idiots on their own level, because, being an intelligent man, you'll try to deal with them on their level - and on their level they'll beat you every time.

    Being hated by idiots is the price you pay for not being one of them.

    Jean Cocteau 1889-1963
