Just how useful IS HRP ?

Morning all,
Well I applied for and have been awarded 7 years' worth of HRP. Speaking with NI earlier, the agent couldn't tell me whether my NI account was based on the old rules or the new rules. He couldn't tell me how much (in money terms) I had insufficient contributions, and would need to pay to obtain the maximum pension. So then, this HRP. What is the worth of being awarded this? I'm pretty certain it doesn't mean I only need now to pay 2 years contributions (making it 9 years), rather than the 9 years I'm expected to pay. Any experts out there that can explain please?
Thanks

Not Historic Royal Palaces?
Joking aside, the answer is 'it's complicated'. Assuming those are the most recent years then some are pre 2016, some post. Everything will depend on what you position was at April 2016. Have you ever been in a contracted out pension scheme? What does your most recent state pension forecast (before the HRP) show?0 -
Does this help?

Took early retirement in 2002, not worked since. State Pension starts to be paid in November. I was in a contracted out works pension, I've been drawing this since 2002. Thanks,0 -
HRP will give you class 3 NI credits for each specific week you are eligible so possibly adding to your SP entitlement. What exactly does you SP forecast show ?, very detailed information needed to make any worthwhile comment.0
