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). 

 No I understand its voluntary and I want to pay - letter says I cannot GG says I can up to 2026. Waiting email response.

Just to update

Just checked GG and its already been updated and the 2 addiotional years added. They wouldnt have had the cheque until last Saturday or Monday latest

Not bad going at all.

 

Whilst not same Government department was also hugely impressed last year when received new Passport back in about 10 days from start to finish (within uk)

I am very jealous . I am still waiting for mine to be updated even though I have chased twice and  supposedly referred to a case worker. Now nearly 13 weeks........

Keep in mind also the rates will rise after the current deadline for back payments expires in April 2025.
