I will describe the possible impact of non-minimal SUSY models, beyond the MSSM, on Cosmological issues relating to Dark Matter, Leptogenesis and Inflation. In particular I will discuss the LSP neutralino WIMP candidate in the USSM, the contribution of the new particles in the E6SSM to flavour dependent lepton asymmetries, and no-scale sneutrino hybrid inflation.
