I will be 63 years 6 months and 10 days when I get the state pension. I had a letter a few months ago telling me that I had only paid in 37 years contribution, and that I could pay the extra 2 years to make it up to 39. However, looking at some of the comments on here it would seem that as it is going to change to only having to pay in for 30 years, I have already done enough. I took early retirement when it was offered 3 years ago. I had looked at the website, and have just received a code to enable me to get an online forecast of what pension I can expected.
