Looking forward to watching it. I can claim my Uk Pension despite living in the US for donkey's years. Not reyt is it?

Depends on how long you lived in the UK and what National Insurance contributions you paid.

EDIT : just seen Wanchai reply.

You can make a one off payment to catch up. Ridiculous, I know.

Why feel guilty sota ?
You’ve paid into the system so are entitled to some back.

Gino features in tonight’s episode as a self employed singer nearing retirement age with no pension.

I’m not joking by the way. He really is. But Sheffield United v Newcastle for me.

You have to have at least 10 years to get any pension and 35 to qualify for the full amount.

Even if you have the 35 years you might not still get the full amount if some of those years were “contracted out” NI contributions

No pension because no NI contributions?

Plus a "few" years of paying no tax either?

[Ericsladkilnhurst]

30 years of contributions for full payment.
