Hi, I've gone through the NIC shortfall process and sent a wire transfer for 12 years contributions in Mid march to bridge NIC Shortfall in order to get a full state pension. I needed 12 qualifying years to reach maximum pension of 35 years as detailed in my HRMC letter following CF83 submission. The money was sent by Wire Transfer from Canada, I think its been received, but no confirmation. However, it shows on my Tax Year 2024-2025 when I look at my NI record, that ive made a full year contribution of 52 weeks. I did follow up and sent in a covering letter with a completed IP117 form, which detailed the 12 years I had selected to make up the shortfall (and a copy of bank wire transfer), but again, have not received any confirmation of receipt of this letter or form. I sent this form to HRMC, Newcastle Upon Tyne, NE98 1ZZ. Tried to call numerous times but cannot get through to clarify the status of the above. Any help or guidance or information is much appreciated - Ive tried to be very diligent in following the process. Thank you,
