DWP reveals how State Pension claimants can boost their payments

The Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) has unveiled new guidelines to help people increase their State Pension payments.

Those who reached the State Pension age between April 6, 2010 and April 5, 2015, but who do not receive — or are not expecting to receive — a full basic State Pension may be able to boost their money by paying up to six additional years of voluntary Class 3 National Insurance voluntary contributions dating back to 1975.

As reported by the Daily Record, this is in addition to the opportunity you may already be given to pay voluntary contributions for some of the last six tax years.
