I tried accessing government gateway to get answers but I need to enter a UK address and to answer credit rating questions that I can’t answer to verify my identity. Too many hoops.
Good luck to all those who action things as a result of scobienz’s thread.
Don’t let that put you off Violet
You can still find out your status and possible remedies by writing to the pensions service. That’s what I did. All you need is your NI number.
They got back to me in 2-3 weeks with a detailed year by year account of activity, and instructions on what and how I could repay.
There are several addresses around the country. They should be easy to find online.
If you have trouble, let me know and I’ll dig out my correspondence with them and give you the address I used. As you’re writing from overseas, one pension office is as good as the rest.
Don’t give up at the first hurdle Violet
