Agreed. I think the poster bob BBK has mis-interpreted the term "payable years " as being mandatory instead of available for voluntary contributions ( if reqd).
Would imagine it was just the official explaining that the money needs to be there 2 months before each/every yearly application,,,,ie not a one off occurrence . Most wives/girlfriends have little experience of these matters 😁
Yes. Well pretty much so.
If you contribute for 1 year eg2023-24 ( pay &824 ) you entitlement will rise from 211 to 217.
If you pay another additional year (+ &834 )it will rise to the maximum being 221 per week.
Essentially pay &834 and get &6 per week extra - &300 year
or pay &1668 ang get &10 per week extra -&500
That's one of the problems with social media.....
People are so attached to their phones these days, that the moment they don't post what they had for breakfast. everyone does into panic mode.
Sorry, posting issue !
Trying to say that I believe the OP has misunderstood the forecast. Essentially, although it shows 14 "payable" or "qualifying "years, you have already contributed enough to get near enough the full state pension and would only need to pay one year to achieve the maximum.
Yep

Suggest you read the article again.
Remove the headrest in most cars and the attachment rods are designed purposefully for breaking the window from the inside. But don't tell your children this....
