I have previously contacted both HMRC and the Future Pension Centre regarding gaps in my National Insurance record for the following tax years: 2015–2016; 2016–2017, 2017–2018 I would like to make voluntary Class 3 National Insurance contributions for these years to ensure that I have at least 10 full qualifying years towards my State Pension entitlement. However, I have not yet received confirmation as to whether paying for these specific years will increase my State Pension. I understand that such confirmation must come from the Future Pension Centre before HMRC can provide the 18-digit reference number required to make the payment. I kindly request written confirmation on whether making voluntary contributions for the above tax years will contribute towards increasing my State Pension. Once confirmed, I will proceed to contact HMRC to obtain the necessary payment reference and arrange payment. Thank you

Hi, my record is now saying its to late to contribute for my gaps in 2015-2018? Can I still pay online, I'm trying to contact future pension and HMRC for month or so and I still haven't received any call back even though I registered weeks ago for call back. Many thanks

I would like to pay my gaps to reach 10 full years of contribution. The missing gaps are between 2015-2017 and my record showing that I can pay around £824 per year. I tried for hours to speak to someone on helplines, future pension line, HMRC line without any luck or assistance whatsoever. I would like to pay lump sump for those 3 years, Can this be done via bank transfer as stated on your website with reference included my NI number following with IC. I'm worried I wont be able to reach anyone through the lines to obtain the 18 digit reference number. I would like to make this contribution from UK, British account not from abroad. Thanks for your help.
