PRSI payments don't factor into it.

You can continue your voluntary NICs until its time to claim your UK pension.
 
But I thought that I had to be working here to continue to pay class 2 NI voluntary contributions
 
Just out of intrest ,if people have an occupation pension at 60 yrs and are not working,I know it's taxed like income,but is a class A stamp also detected so it can be put towards the contribuitary state pension here
