UK Future Pension Centre helpline - has anyone got through?
You can find out how many years you can/have to make up without having to telephone: Check your National Insurance record: Use the online service on GOV.UK (https://www.gov.uk/check-national-insurance-record) to access your record. You'll need a Government Gateway account to sign in. If you don't have one, you can set it up online. This record shows your paid contributions, any NI credits received, and whether gaps exist that prevent years from being "qualifying years" for State Pension purposes. I just looked at mine, 14/15 was short. I have paid up for short years in the past. As far as I remember the "view details" also included the amount I needed tp pay: -

Community Man Takes Own Life During Video Call After Failing to Reconcile
Picture courtesy of SiamNews. A 29-year-old man from Samut Prakan, reportedly took his own life inside his fourth-floor apartment in Soi Pae Mor Phatthana. Police from the Muang Samut Prakan station were called to the scene at around 23:00 on 14 August, coordinating with local rescue services and the Ruamkulsamutprakan Foundation. Officers had to force entry into the locked apartment and found the man, identified as Mr. Pithiwat, hanging from a plug-in electrical cord attached to a balcony railing. The body was clearly visible from the street below, causing shock among passers-by. There were no signs of a struggle inside the apartment. According to Ms. Jenjira, the victim’s current girlfriend, the deceased had been on a three-way video call with her and a friend, appearing cheerful and relaxed. Moments later, he disappeared from the call and returned holding a cord with a visibly distressed expression. Despite her attempts to intervene, she was unable to prevent him from taking his own life. The victim’s ex-wife, Ms. Trichada, 26, also arrived at the scene. She reported that Mr. Pithiwat had contacted her earlier that evening, appearing intoxicated and attempting to reconcile, despite their separation since last Songkran. The couple had two children together. She stated that he had previously expressed an inability to cope without her and had made previous suicide attempts, but she had refused reconciliation due to personal and family issues. Authorities collected evidence at the scene and plan to conduct a full autopsy to confirm the exact cause of death. Arrangements are being made for the family to recover the body and perform funeral rites. If you or anyone you know is in emotional distress, please contact the Samaritans of Thailand 24-hour hotline: 02 713 6791 (English), 02 713 6793 (Thai) or the Thai Mental Health Hotline at 1323 (Thai). Please also contact your friends or relatives at this time if you have feelings of loneliness, stress or depression. Seek out help. Adapted by Asean Now from SiamNews 2025-08-16 -
