in Topping up your state pension
I began claiming my pension in 2019. I have no gaps between 2006 and 2019 but I don't have 35 years of contributions.
Sorry if this is a silly question but can I buy years 2020-2025 ?

    I suspected as much but just haven't found this clarified anywhere. Thanks.

    If you reached State Pension age in 2019 having 35 years of contributions is almost certainly of no relevance to you anyway.
