Martin Lewis issues urgent State Pension warning to people between 45 and 70

Martin Lewis has warned those between the ages of 45 and 70 that the "clock is ticking" if they want to get extra money by boosting their State Pension.

The financial guru explained in the new MoneySavingExpert newsletter that temporary arrangements that have let people buy extra national insurance (NI) years will stop at the end of this tax year.

This scheme allows workers to get a bigger State Pension payout when they retire, as this is based on the number of 'qualifying NI years' you have — with around 35 usually required to get the full State Pension.
