*Less than 6 months left to fill in National Insurance gaps to 2006*

You have until 5 April 2025 to fill gaps in your National Insurance records for all years from 6 April 2006 to 5 April 2018, which could boost your State Pension if eligible. After the deadline, you will only be able to make voluntary contributions for the previous 6 tax years, in line with normal time limits.

HMRC’s online service and the HMRC app enable most customers to quickly and easily check if they have gaps in their National Insurance record, calculate if making a payment would increase their State Pension, and then make a payment if they wish to do so.
