DWP shares how to boost State Pension payments if you reached retirement age on certain dates

The Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) has released new guidance to help certain people boost their State Pension income.

If you reached State Pension age between April 6, 2010 and April 5, 2015, but are not receiving or expecting to receive a full basic State Pension, then you may be able to increase the amount you get by paying up to six additional years of voluntary Class 3 National Insurance voluntary contributions for years going back to 1975.

This is in addition to the opportunity you may already have to pay voluntary contributions for some of the last six tax years.
