My voluntary contribution to pay back is £824.20 every year from 2006 to 2024. There is a slight variation in this but not much. Did anyone else get that?

As per the key post everyone online as deemed class 3. You need to put your application in to see the true class in a letter post your claim being submitted.

Thanks, I'll fill in the form and submit and see what the result is. I'm hazy on the dates in the 90s to be honest and I've touched base with my employer there and like me he hasn't a clue as to the exact dates I left.

Hi, 2 weeks ago I received a letter from the UK - a receipt with all the years listed that I bought back and how much I'd paid - all perfect.
I assumed it would be online also but when I went into my account it's not there. Only 2 years are acknowledged as paid in full. I bought back 15.

Also I notice that where previously when I went in online I could see the number of years I had for pension in total - now it doesnt seem to say that at all. For example although I only worked 4 years in england it seemed to credit me 8 years - now no number is listed.

Anyone have any info on this? has it happened anyone else?

If you sign into your gov.uk account, you will be able to see the years that you paid National Insurance contributions, so this could guide you ...

How much extra pension will you get for this amount?

You can work out if the investment is worth once you know what extra payment you will receive

It can guide me for sure but I don't have the exact day/months only the year. I was thinking of stating that in the cover letter and putting a foot note in the form itself to clarify that I don't remember exact days/date. Has anyone else done that and crossed the line with that part of the process?

My back hurts, so I'm feeling grumpy x 2.

Fill in CF83 and send it back. You'd have had it done by the time you posted here.

@Finance - I knew my dates (from an old diary I dug out of a box in the attic) but didn't have the name of the agency who placed me.

My cover letter, which accompanied my paper CF83, clarified what I didn't have, and why. My application was successful. They have your NI record after all.

I posted the CF83 form off today with a cover letter outlining my situation. I'm just going to sit and wait and see what happens next.
