Hi
A friend of mine, who is aged 63, has been told that he is now entitled to Pension Credit. Unfortunately, he was also told by someone at his local Job Centre that he might have to wait for another two years before he can claim it. This is because he has a shortful in his National Insurance contributions (Class 1). This is news to me, although I am aware that government policy may have changed with regards to the above matter. Be this as it may, I have tried to google around for an answer - and not unexpectedly received a lot of conflicting advice. Therefore any 'real' advice based on the facts as they currently exist would be extremely welcome. Many thanks.
