Hello,
Not sure if this topic is relevant for this forum? I have 8 years of NI contributions in the UK and 1 year when I didn't contribute enough. I can pay for the gaps in that year for about £800, however, during that year I was paying national insurance in Greece, so not sure there is a point to pay? So overall, I have 2 years of contributions in Greece (2011-13), 1 year when I didn't contribute enough in the UK (2012-13) and 8 full years in the UK (2013-2021) if I count this financial year too. I'm also planning to move to Mexico later this year. My questions are:
- Can my 2 years in Greece and 8 in the UK be merged so that I have the 10 years minimum to get some state pension from the UK at some point?
- If not, do you know if it's possible to pay state pension in the UK from Mexico so that I reach the 10 years?
- Do you think it's worth paying voluntary contributions to fill my year with gaps 2012-13?
Thank you
