Check if you need to increase your State Pension
A State Pension is regular money you can claim from the government to help when you retire.
You now have until 5 April 2025 to fill any National Insurance gaps dating back to 2006 to increase your State Pension. If you’re not sure you can check NI records on GOV.UK or via the HMRC app. After this date, payments can only be made for the previous six tax years.
