Voluntary National Insurance payments

Im
disabled with progressive MS. I have one more year's worth of National
Insurance payments to make in order to be able to claim full penson when
I reach retirement age. I was advised that if I went self-employed
this would be cheaper (Ive not worked for 5 years but was then employed and after this I made 2 years worth of full contributions as if I was still employed.
Last year I went Self Employed as someone locally was prepared to offer
me a role working from home - however, unfortunately this did not work out as the
contract was not suitable. (they had no experience of contract law and I
was advised not to take it under any circumstances).
This
leaves me with a self employment UTR number (which is great) and Ive been
advised to pay my final National Insurance year using this as it is
cheaper than if I was employed.
