Retirement

[dom]

Ive just found out that if I pay HMRC  the national insurance contribution for each year that I've lived in Ireland I can get the UK pension for those years. Bit of a no brainer in terms of return so I've got that process underway.

Obviously if I die in the next 8 years it will have been a waste but I think its a risk worth taking!

This might help in making shortfall contributions.

Thanks for that - I've actually got a professional to sort it out - I think partly due to reading your post!
