My wife is Irish & has neither lived nor worked in the UK. Am I correct in thinking that, based on current rules, she will be entitled to 60% of my OAP on my death?
you will now need 35 years rather than 30 contributions to qualify for the full UK State pension. .
Yes you right its a maximum of 35 years.
Apart from paying your voluntary contributions, have you checked to see if you can buy back years?
Remember the contracted out element of your state pension would have gone into a private pension fund and the proceeds from that is intended to make up for the lower rate paid at the end of the 35 years.
