Martin Lewis has shared guidance on how people from across the UK can increase their state pension by thousands of pounds.
The Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) states that people ordinarily must have 10 qualifying years on their National Insurance record in order to get any new State Pension — and 35 years' of contributions to qualify for the full amount.
Lewis said that people across the UK are unaware that they do not possess enough qualifying years to receive the maximum retirement income from the UK Government.
