Re: The Pensioners' Top-Up
The Pensions Bill which will bring in the Single Tier Pension is expected to receive royal assent this spring. You can follow its progress here:

Re: The Pensioners' Top-Up
On the Single Tier Pension and Voluntary NICs.
I've just checked with the HMRC National Insurance helpline. At the moment it is only possible to pay voluntary NICs up to the 30 year mark.
After the Pension Act introducing the Single Tier Pension becomes law in a few months time, 35 years contributions will be needed for a full single tier pension. There will be transitional arrangements to allow anyone short of the 35 years needed to make up the difference.
I'll post this on the other pension thread also.
