So am I!
So am I!
I am almost there and I didn't expect that one! I can let you have a couple of extracts from a letter I had from HM & Customs in 2012, God time flies!
'Our records show you currently have 45 qualifying years'...It goes on...'You only need 30 qualifying years to get the full basic state pension' the next relevant bit states 'If in any tax year on the enclosed schedule has 'Payment Not Needed' next to it, the tax year has enough NICs paid or credits allocated to be a qualifying year for basic State Pension. Voluntary NICs are not required for tax years noted 'Payment Not Needed.
I got payment not needed throughout my forces and civilian career and according to the Schedule I was paying some NICs during my time in the forces.
Have they changed the goal posts again!
