UK warns thousands may miss pension boost if they don't fix National Insurance gaps by April 5.

The UK's HMRC warns that over 10,000 people may miss out on a state pension boost if they don't address gaps in their National Insurance (NI) records by April 5. A new digital service has already paid out £12.5 million to help, but individuals born after April 6, 1951 (men) and April 6, 1953 (women), must act quickly to maximize their state pension. The previous government extended the deadline for making voluntary NI contributions to April 5, 2025. People are advised to check their eligibility and consider their options, including the possibility of NI credits.
