UK. DWP shares how people can boost State Pension payments if they reached retirement age on certain dates
The Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) has released new guidance to help certain people increase their State Pension income.
If you reached State Pension age between April 6, 2010 and April 5, 2015, but are not receiving or expecting to receive a full basic State Pension, then you may be able to increase the amount you get by paying up to six additional years of voluntary Class 3 National Insurance voluntary contributions for years going back to 1975.
This is in addition to the opportunity you may already have to pay voluntary contributions for some of the last six tax years
The DWP advises that paying voluntary contributions is not right for everyone as it depends on your personal circumstances and you should seek further information and advice before making any payment.
Who could the guidance help?
The DWP guidance is aimed at:
men born between April 6, 1945 and April 5, 1950
women born between April 6,1950 and October 5, 1952
