It's a complete clusterf**k. I got a letter out of the blue 3 years ago telling me that I had fulfilled my obligations vis a vis NI contributions (I had been paying Class 3 for 25 years while working overseas after 15 years of Class 1 payments in the mob) and that I was qualified for a full pension when I reach 66. So I stopped paying.
A pension forecast request confirmed this. The system, such as it is, obviously kept some sort of track.
