Surge in demand to top-up State Pension could see deadline extended for some people next month
The UK Government has said it will continue to consider contributions made by people to top-up their State Pensions, even after a looming deadline passes next month. It said that phone lines have been busy as people have taken action to plug gaps in their National Insurance contributions.
People generally need 35 years of qualifying National Insurance contributions to get the full State Pension. A UK Government spokesperson said: “Voluntary National Insurance contributions do not always increase your State Pension. “If customers are unable to pay voluntary contributions by April 5 2023 for reasons beyond their control, we will consider payments made after the deadline on a case-by-case basis.”
“Normally, you are only allowed to fill in gaps up to six years previously, so this opportunity generated huge interest across the country.
