Many people assume they’ll receive the full State Pension in retirement, but Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) figures show that, in 2023, only half of pensioners on the new State Pension got the full amount. 150,000 pensioners received less than £100 a week. The reason could be gaps in their National Insurance (NI) record. Clients may be at risk if they: 🟣 Had a low salary and didn’t pay enough NI 🟣 Were unemployed but didn’t claim benefits 🟣 Were on a high income but didn’t register for Child Benefits ⚠️There’s still time to act! Until 5 April 2025, people can make voluntary NI contributions going back nearly 20 years – potentially increasing their income.

As a financial adviser, you help clients plan for the future. One key area to remind them of is their State Pension entitlement. To receive the new full State Pension, people need 35 years of National Insurance contributions – but many have gaps in their record without realising it. Up until 5 April 2025, there’s a rare opportunity to fill in gaps going back almost 20 years by making voluntary contributions. This won’t be the right for everyone, but for some it could mean extra income in retirement. Encourage your clients to check their State Pension forecast and explore their options: https://ow.ly/1rOL50V1gCj #StatePension #FinancialPlanning #RetirementPlanning
