How doesn't Mum receive full State pension?

The five years contributions from 60 to 65  would not  entitle her to a full state pension. 

Given her age, her state pension age would have been 60, over which NI contributions are not payable?

They are by the employer - and OP says her mother worked until she was 65.

But they still wouldn't count towards her State pension.

Thank you for all of the advice. I managed to set up an HMRC account for Mum and discovered she hadn't paid full NI conts which explains everything. Thank you so much for the help anyway.
