Pension Forecast Incorrect

I have just checked my pension forecast on the government website. I stopped working in 1995 when my first child was born and claimed child benefit. I had 2 other children after and was claiming child benefit upto July 2021 however my forecast on the government website says I have only qualifying years upto when i stopped receiving child benefit for my second child not till i stopped receiving for my third child. Does it not count a third child ? is there a way I can get the record changed to include the 6 years it doesn't include ?

    Child benefit related credits stop at age 12 - does that fit in with the forecast ?

    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.
