If you don't have enough money to buy additional NI years to get the full state pension, your payout may be boosted if you apply for pension credit.
Pension credit is an income-related benefit for low earners who don't qualify for the full flat-rate state pension of £203.85 a week (2023/24).
If you're eligible for pension credit you'll still be entitled to other benefits such as housing benefit. See our Pension credit guide for full information.
