Individuals will have to save for their retirement or work until they are 75.
I have another question on NICs - I looked at my record and for the period I was in HE I have missing years. That doesn't seem fair/correct. Anyone any idea on this?
Did you work p/t and not pay enough NICs in a financial year to qualify? What sort of contract were you on....classed as self-employed? Best get back to the employer and check your pay slips from the period involved.
