But when I have rechecked on the gov.uk site in the last 2 years (after the state pension change) it seems that I will get the full New State Pension but will fall short on the new higher rate unless I make additional contributions.
That 'new' higher rate is a bit of a mystery to me. The gov.uk site is usually very clear but there was some contradiction and/or missing information when I looked and I haven't followed it up yet. If someone else can explain it I will be very grateful. It will probably turn out to be Tier 1, 2 and 3 pensions.... with a U Turn thrown in!
checked mine it says i got 40 full years but then it says i have a part missing year
same as jon59 any advice would help thanks
