?The State Pension is a useful source of retirement funding that can be combined with other sources of income in retirement.
The New State Pension is ￡9,627.80 per year.
It is claimable from state pension age but not everyone will get the same amount as this depends on your National Insurance (NI) record which is based on the amount of NI contributions you have made each tax year.
If you have gaps in your NI records this may mean you are not entitled to a full state pension.
You may be able to pay voluntary National Insurance contributions to fill these gaps.
Previously, you could only make top ups to cover the last 6 years contributions, but HMRC?have extended the deadlines for making voluntary National Insurance contributions for the tax years to go back to 2006.
You will have until 5 April 2023 to make the voluntary contribution.
