<p>Although the Government holds data on National Insurance records, it is based on
a 1 per cent sample of the National Insurance and PAYE System (NPS) which is not sufficient

working life it is possible to have some gaps in their National Insurance record and
still get the full amount of State Pension. For example, in the case of the new State
Pension, if we assume around a 50 year working life, this allows for roughly 15 years
of gaps.</p>
