Anything less than 52 weeks' worth of NI contributions results in that whole year not being counted, so you get nothing if you didn't get NI credits. Currently it is only possible to pay voluntary contributions for gaps from the last 6 years. It's unfair, and this limit should be removed.

Stop requiring NI contributions and Pay The Full State Pension to All
We call on government to stop requiring National Insurance (NI) contributions in order to pay out state pension. We feel this is a degrading, humiliating practice. We suggest that the Full State Pension is paid to all of state pension age.
Remove the cap on NI Contributions relief for pension salary sacrifice
Reverse proposals to charge National Insurance on salary-sacrificed pension contributions over £2000 to encourage people to save for retirement and reduce reliance on the state pension.
Government to fix private pension access age at 55
Private pensions have historically been accessible from 55. In light of rising retirement ages, the Government must remove the 10-year link to retirement age and permanently fix the minimum access age at 55. We believe that requiring long-term investment while postponing access is unreasonable.
Reduce NI payments for people not registered with an NHS dentist
As many people are unable to have an NHS dentist but pay full NI contributions. We think they should have a reduction in NI contributions to help with private dental care. Why pay the same as people who have an NHS dentist.
