How can I check how much New State Pension I could receive and whether I have enough qualifying years?

A ClaimGuide Team Answered by

You can check your State Pension forecast and National Insurance record through the official GOV.UK service, usually using your Government Gateway or GOV.UK One Login. The forecast shows how much you may receive, when you may receive it and whether paying further contributions could affect the amount. Your record lists the qualifying years you have built up and any gaps, although filling gaps will not always increase your pension. For help with your individual position, contact the Future Pension Centre or check the guidance on GOV.UK.
