Missing NI contributions. Anything I can do?

[gmaz]

In 2001 I missed 2 or 3 NI contributions as I was made redundant and didn’t sign on. Will this affect my pension and is there anything I can do about it? The tax website says it is too late but if there is any way to stop it affecting me financially in the future, I’d appreciate any advice. Thanks

I also believe you only need 30 years of payments to qualify for state pension.

Thanks, It appears I have 34 years of full contribs so should be OK
