...or the more chronic illnesses you have, the more vaccines you get? 🤔

I wonder how much vaping-related car accidents cost them last year 🤔

Yes that's a very small increase for 16 years of contributions. It could be that some of those years don't actually increase your pension. Did you call FP to check before paying? Good news is you paid the cheaper class 2, so didn't waste much, and you're on course for the full pension. 😊

OK then...guess we'll both have to wait until next year to see our NI record updated 😟

Surely the tax year 2026 to 2027 won't add anything to his pension as it won't be a full tax year? I think he still needs to contribute for the years 2024 to 2025 and 2025 to 2026 to receive the full pension as his forecast states that it is based on his 'National Insurance record up to 5 April 2024'

Based on that and my corresponding sections above, your forecast is the amount you receive 'if you contribute until [retirement date]'. As long as you pay for the next 2 years you should get the full pension. Obviously those can't shown on your NI record yet. Are the shortfall years you paid showing as full on your NI record?

Can you post this part of your pension forecast?

You could try HMRC Online chat. You can chat with an advisor, as opposed to a computer, during office hours. https://www.tax.service.gov.uk/ask-hmrc/chat/online-services-helpdesk

HMRC have a community forum where official advisors respond to questions...or you can just look through the existing posts as people ask the same questions over and over again 🙂 https://community.hmrc.gov.uk/customerforums/ni

I'm in the exact same situation as you, except I'm just about to call them to check that they've received my payment (it's been just over 8 weeks as they advise). Current time from making payment to updating NI records is 65 weeks! When you last called HMRC, did you inform them which years you want to allocate the payment to?

There seems to be a lot of confusion over what this is! 1. The Equality Act 2010 tells organisation when they can discriminate and when they can't, according to specific protected characteristics. 2. The Supreme Court ruled that the protected characteristic of 'sex' refers to 'biological sex', otherwise it would lead to contradictions in law. 3. Trans people are still protected against discrimination under the protected characteristic of 'gender reassignment'.

Not any more 🙂

Vape party? 🤔

Someone should remind them about this one as well

I've just been through the exact same process, starting January this year. After you completed the online CF83 form, did you recieve a letter with shortfall tables, detailing which weeks / years you are eligible to pay class 2 NIC?
