People hoping to boost their pension income by thousands of pounds over their retirement can breathe a sigh of relief – after a government scheme was extended by almost two years.
HM Revenue and Customs has announced that taxpayers now have until April 2025 to fill in gaps in their national insurance so they can get the full state pension – a boost that will be particularly welcomed by women who took time out to raise a family, carers, and those who have worked abroad.
