Those who need to fill gaps in their National Insurance records to increase their State Pension will be interested to learn about the new HMRC and DWP online service.
The Check Your State Pension Forecast will allow people to easily view NI gaps and pay voluntary contributions to fill them.
The service also shows how much a person’s State Pension could increase by and how much they would need to pay in to achieve this.
Nigel Huddleston, Financial Secretary to the Treasury, said, “Having peace of mind when planning for retirement is crucial to ensure people can enjoy later life.
“That’s why HMRC has launched this new online service today, making a real difference for thousands of pensioners in their retirement while providing certainty to those in their middle years and those still planning ahead.”

Minister for Pensions, Paul Maynard, added, “The State Pension is the foundation of income in retirement, which is why we have introduced this new online tool to help simplify boosting it for those who are able to.
“I would encourage everyone to check their State Pension forecast and to take a look at how they could improve their State Pension award with only a few simple clicks.”
