Further to recent articles in French News about women's pensions, the UK Department of Work and Pensions has issued a press release explaining that "women pensioners could boost their state pension or even be in line for a windfall payment under special terms.
But they need to act quickly as the deal, which allows people to pay
for missed National Insurance contributions at a reduced rate, will run
out in less than two years." For the full press release, go to http://www.dwp.gov.uk/mediacentre/pressreleases/2008/may/pens066-060508.asp which will lead you to http://www.thepensionservice.gov.uk/resourcecentre/factsheets/home.asp where two factsheets (one for people under, and one for those over State Pension age) explain who can benefit by 'catching up' missed payments, and how to go about it. - Voluntary National Insurance contributions for years 1996 to 2002 – for people who are under State Pension age – [PDF file size 916kb] - Voluntary National Insurance contributions for years 1996 to 2002 – for people who are over State Pension age – [PDF file size 953kb] Try the search function and the site map.
