The State will provide you with a pension in retirement provided you have made National Insurance contributions for a minimum of 10 years. Currently, to get the full state pension you will need to have 35 years worth of National Insurance contributions. If you are unsure you can check how much you are entitled to by using the following link: www.gov.uk/check-state-pension
The value of pensions can fall as well as rise, you may get back less than you invested.
