Class 2 Stamp and state pension Urgent!

Raylincs

I am self employed with my 66th birthday in June.  I have been self employed nearly all my life except the years I spent in the British Army.
I haven't enough class 2 contributions for a full state pension, I have bought the last six years class 2 stamp.  I wish to purchase pervious years until 2006 class 2 stamp, is this possible 
Thx for any help

It may be if you are eligible but there's a load of hoops to jump through to get that and you need to talk to HMRC which is going to be a problem this late on.

I'm in a similar same boat and about to start a thread myself. I suggest registering for a callback on the government website before April 5th and keep a screenshot. I'm also thinking of writing to them recorded delivery and keeping a photo of the letter and evidence of receipt when it's signed for.

If it is not signed for, which these large organisations rarely do, that can be used as proof it was never received, it is usually advised not to use signed for but get free proof of postage which deems it delivered.
