CHECK YOUR NATIONAL INSURANCE CONTRIBUTION HISTORY
Wednesday October 2018
In order to maximise entitlement to full State Benefits a full contribution record is required. For example full State Pension entitlement requires 35 years contributions.
It is possible to check your National Insurance record online to see:
- what you’ve paid, up to the start of the current tax year (6 April 2018)
- any National Insurance credits you’ve received
- if gaps in contributions or credits mean some years don’t count towards your State Pension (they aren’t ‘qualifying years’)
- if you can pay voluntary contributions to fill any gaps and how much this will cost
