Key Post UK State Pension - Make voluntary contributions to qualify for UK pension on top of Irish pension

Hi Nellers, that is great, I will try again. One question when you have spoken to them and they sort it for you, then when you go online and they ask for your surname, do you type in your married name which is on the passport or your maiden name . I tried both surnames hoping they would
have received the letter but after I went through the whole process with the phone and app, it said no go because their records didn't match etc
 
Hi Nellers, PS I will be a mix of mainly class 3 as was bringing up children so wasn't working. Credits dont count. When I lived in Uk I also opted out, think it was called Serps so not sure how that impacts me. Anyways working for the last 6 years so will have those and the few years along the way.
 
Hi @Dopey1, when I logged in I used my married name only and the scanning of the passport can be a bit fiddly, but I logged in on the PC and had downloaded the gov id check app to the phone and it all synced up, relatively straightforward. I also put my details in the future pensions call back as stated elsewhere here. Best of luck with it
 
Ok so I transferred payment and just looked online this morning of course not expecting the payment to be allocated yet. However the record now shows that class 3 is due for all years since 2006 whereas previously most years were class 2 and I have the original letter to back it up. Also the payment due date is now showing as May 5th 2025. I paid based on the letter received. Should I be concerned?
