Yes, I have usually spoken to older staff members who seem to be wholly familiar with S1 and all its details.

I'm entitled to a full state pension, based on the current rules (which I fear may change with all the current economic problems) I also had the 30years NI to make a'full pension' which changed to 35, so I bought AVC's to make it up, in my case I had to buy 6 years worth.
I'll call and check my personal situation with them, not long now before I'll need it!
Ive saved the phone number too
Thanks again Jon

It doesn't need to be a full pension to qualify you for an S1. I don't think there is any minimum level, or if there is it's very low.

With the caveat, that you haven't worked and also accrued a pension in another EU state since leaving the UK.
I will soon be in receipt of a UK state pension but because I've lived and worked in France for the last 15 years I won't be entitled to an S1.
