HMRC Glitch Stops Thousands from Topping Up State Pension Before Deadline

A technical error at HMRC locked thousands out of a chance to top up their State Pension via backdated National Insurance credits. The online system was shut early, just before a key deadline for making contributions for gaps between 2006 and 2018. About 21,000 people are affected and will be contacted to resolve the issue.
